Manchester United held Barcelona to a 2-2 draw at Camp Nou in the first leg of their Europa League playoffs.
After a goalless first half, Barca opened the scoring in the 50th minute through Marcos Alonso who headed from Raphinha’s corner.
The Red Devils responded immediately through the in-form Marcus Rashford as he slipped in a finish at the near post.
United continued to show their resilience as Rashford’s cross was then turned into his own net by Barcelona defender Jules Kounde to put the visitors ahead.
