Leander Dendoncker struck late to snatch a 1-1 draw for Anderlecht on Thursday and ruin Manchester United's hopes of taking a Europa League quarter-final lead to Old Trafford next week.

The Belgian international midfielder rose to majestically power home a header from Ivan Obradovic's cross four minutes from time and cancel out Henrikh Mkhitaryan's first-half opener.

It was no less than Anderlecht deserved for a committed second-half display, although United will rue not taking earlier chances to kill off the tie.
