The Portuguese ‘Magnifico’ spared his team-mate’s blushes to fire Ruben Amorim’s side towards the knockout phase
Manchester United have one foot in the Europa League knockout stage after Bruno Fernandes nicked a barely deserved 2-1 win over Rangers. The Red Devils looked to have thrown away victory when Harry Maguire lost track of Cyriel Dessers and gifted the substitute striker an 88th-minute leveller which cancelled out Jack Butland’s own goal.
But less than three minutes later Lisandro Martinez picked out the Portuguese ‘Magnifico’ in the area and the captain volleyed low past Butland to give United a fourth consecutive Europa League victory which took them into fourth in the standings, within touching distance of clinching their place in the last 16 ahead of their final League Phase game next week at FCSB.
