Manchester United opened their Premier League International Cup campaign with a 1-1 draw against Derby County.

Nishan Burkart (pictured) gave United the lead at Loughborough University Stadium with a backheel on 20 minutes.

But Derby substitute Louie Sibley equalised on the hour when his cross looped in.

Derby are top of Group F on five points, having played all their three matches.

They must now wait for how the other teams in the group perform to see if they go through to the knockout stages as group winners.

United's two remaining fixtures are against PSV Eindhoven on 17 January and Paris Saint-Germain on 25 January.

Two wins will guarantee they win the group and qualify.
