The Red Devils came into the tie looking to bounce back from a 2-0 home defeat to Crystal Palace in the Premier League last weekend.

But it appeared they were set to suffer yet another shock loss in front of their fans, after De Cordova-Reid opened the scoring in the first half.

Ruben Amorim responded by taking off debutant Patrick Dorgu off at half and introducing Alejandro Garnacho.

Garnacho’s arrival seemed to spark United into life, as his cross led to Joshua Zirkzee tapping into an empty net.

As the game dragged into extra-time territory, Maguire headed in Bruno Fernandes’ deep cross.

It appeared the defender was in an offside position as Fernandes swung in the free-kick that he headed past Mads Hermansen, but with no VAR in action at this stage of the competition, the goal was awarded.
