It was the knockout stages of the 2015/16 Europa League and it was the first leg of the round of 32. Manchester United traveled to Denmark to face a side they wouldn't have known before this match.

Manchester United went into the lead with a goal from Memphis Depay and it felt like it was going to be another easy win for the Red Devils, but what followed was entirely unscripted. Pione Sisto drew the home side level and they scored the second almost 14 minutes from time to give Midtjylland their greatest triumph ever.

But in the second leg at Old Trafford, Manchester United beat Midtjylland 5-1 and a certain striker named Marcus Rashford burst into the limelight and what has followed since then is for everyone to see.
