Manchester United players console Mile Svilar after his shocking error
Jose Mourinho’s side picked up all three points at Estadio da Luz following a shocking mistake from Benfica goalkeeper Mile Svilar.
The 18-year-old stopper, who became the youngest ever keeper to start a Champions League match, was guilty of carrying Marcus Rashford’s free-kick over his own goal line midway through the second-half.
The Belgian was close to tears after the final whistle, but Manchester United players were quick to comfort the distressed ace.
Svilar received a hug from Nemanja Matic and some kind words from compatriot Romelu Lukaku, while opposite number David De Gea also sought out the unlucky youngster at full-time.
