KJAER FREE
SIMON KJAER broke hearts in Manchester after his last-gasp goal cancelled out super-sub Amad Diallo’s header to give AC Milan the advantage in their Europa League tie.
The Ivorian, 18, showed Anthony Martial how to do it with the goal that should have downed AC Milan after replacing the lacklustre, misfiring Frenchman at the break.
Just five minutes later he had his first goal for Manchester United with his first effort on goal for the club in just his third appearance since coming here.
What a goal it was too anticipating Bruno Fernandes chipped ball forward to get between defender and goalkeeper and expertly execute a flick head back over Gianluigi Donnarumma and in.

SOLSKJAER’S THOUGHTS
Man Utd boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer gave his post-match thoughts to BT Sport: “Very disappointed to conceded with one of the last kicks of the ball, or head.
“That makes it harder of course, but it was always going to be going down to the second game there, anyway.
“I’ve seen him [Henderson] save them, but it’s the structure that we lose. We dropped too deep and we get blocked off and they get the header on.
“We should have attacked the ball with the men we had there.
“We were a bit too slow with the possesion. That’s the learning we have to get into ourselves, we have to perform every single week.
“We’re playing against good teams. Probably a draw is a fair result.”
