Goodnight

From van Gaal to Neville and beyond - we're wrapping up this page now.

Follow the rest of the Liverpool game here. Good night!

Fresh from securing his first La Liga win, Gary Neville is cruising to a second successive victory now as his Valencia side are 2-0 up against Rapid Vienna.

The Nevilleution is under way.

Law of Murphy?

'Everything going against us'

Manchester United

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal: "It is the law of Murphy, I think! When you start a game and your goalkeeper is number 14 [on the injury list] then you are not starting like usual. A lot of things are happening in the heads of the players. The first goal is deflected, it is unbelievable, it is too much. In the second half we don't win any duels. Any second balls. Then you cannot afford a second goal. Jesse Lingard had two remarkable chances. In certain phases we were not very well organised.

"When you play with another team every week with other players it doesn't help. It is always possible in football. We have the chance to beat them at home and we have to do that. David de Gea has a knee problem so we have to wait and see. We will investigate that with a scan."

Good honest, fronting up from Michael Carrick. A man who wore the look of someone who knew that was very, very poor tonight...

'Just not good enough'

Manchester United

Manchester United captain Michael Carrick: "It's not good enough, not acceptable. The performance is nowhere near good enough and it has to be better. We caused a lot of our own problems, all in all it's just not good enough.

"It was there for us to win the game, we should have won that but we go home very disappointed. The only positive we can take is that we have a chance to put it right next week. It won't be easy but at home we still fancy our chances. We have given ourselves a tough job. We have to give everything we can."

LVG moans of injuries but he sold RVP and Hernandez in the summer and didn't replace them. January came and went with no change. Kids are good but not in a desperate team.

Let's give Man U the benefit of the doubt. They are clearly caught between a rock and a hard place. Giggs is refusing to take the job short term while Jose wants a run at it from July. Letting the current season play out as is, is a risky business. LVG should fall on his own sword. His arrogance is breath taking and more worryingly damaging United's medium term commercial prospects.

If LVG stays one more day as Man United manager he is the luckiest man in the UK. The fans are the unluckiest on the planet.

'We expected more'

Midtjylland goalscorer Paul Onuachu: "I think it's fantastic! A dream come true to play against Manchester United. We stuck to the tactics of the coach and we look forward to the return leg. We work very hard and we give it everything.

"We expected more from Manchester United. We are positive to go there and achieve."

Liverpool

Plenty more Manchester United reaction coming your way in this page - but Liverpool are about to get under way.

Jimbo: Oh we're gonna blame injuries? Didn't we just have a transfer window?

James Foster: I'm extremely worried. Midtjylland will give it a real go at Old Trafford and I could definitely see them causing an upset

Matt Harding: If this doesn't spell the end for LVG I have no idea what Man Utd are waiting for. Til we're out of all competitions?

Spurs get a draw

It ended with a decent draw in Florence for Spurs - read all about it over here...

Never trust anyone who feels the need to write everything down. LVG has clearly learnt nothing from his journals and only writes them because he has no clue what to do instead.

Ian Chadwick

A fascinating, and bizarre mantra that one Ian...

I'm with Richard from Manchester. All for one and one for all, one man is not to blame for 11 men playing poorly. If we are not careful we will be left with nothing. Van gaal gives people a chance, who gave Iniesta and Xavi their first games. LVG is the answer. LOUIS VAN GAALS Army.

The Midtjylland players are celebrating as if they have won the Europa League, and who can honestly knock them for it? The home fans won't be moaning about paying £70-odd for these memories...

All over! A huge win for the Danish side.

1-0 at Old Trafford and Manchester United are through. That's the angle all the media will go for, I'm sure...

Into the wall...

Midtjylland counter and win a free-kick right on the edge of the area. Could it yet get worse for Manchester United?

Four minutes added on but there is no siege for the hosts to see out. Yet. Donald Love chucks in a cross which is easily cleared. 

Who is to blame?

Time is well and truly up for LVG. This run wouldn't be tolerated at Bayern or Barcelona, why are we allowing this to happen? We're being loyal to a fault and it's putting the club in a dangerous place. Our current commercial success has come from the Fergie era. I fear for the future.

Sam in London

I don't get the criticism of LVG. I absolutely don't think he's the right man for the job, but he's not the one putting in weak tackles and making mistakes. People are too quick to blame the manager and not the players on the pitch. And I blame the latter more. Weak challenges, no passion and no desire!
