Manchester United drew 2-2 at Barcelona in a topsy-turvy first leg of their UEFA Europa League knockout clash.

Both teams went into the game in fine form. United had not lost in their previous six matches, while Barcelona were unbeaten since October and had won eight games in a row.

After a goalless first half, Barca took the lead in the 50th minute when Marcos Alonso headed in from a Raphinha corner.

United hit back almost immediately when Fred set up Marcus Rashford to score his 22nd club goal of the season.

An own goal then put United in front just before the hour-mark when a low cross from Rashford was deflected into the net by Barca defender Jules Kounde.

But Barca levelled 14 minutes from full-time courtesy of Raphinha. The former Leeds star whipped in a wicked cross aimed at Robert Lewandowski, who failed to get a touch but watched on as the ball flew directly past United keeper David de Gea.

The second leg will take place at Old Trafford on Thursday, February 23.
