A desperate goal, in added time, in the middle of a crazy finale, with Bruno Fernandes as savior, relieved Manchester United, frustrated a minute earlier when Cyriel Dessers gave Rangers the tie at Old Trafford, and left them with the classification to the round of 16 of the UEFA Europa League in hand to the English team.
Ruben Amorim’s team, who on Sunday after losing to Brighton indicated that theirs was the worst team in the history of Manchester United, at least gave their fans a victory. With epic, as fans enjoy most, at the last minute.
The ‘red’ team had only won one of their last seven games; however, in Europe they are undefeated.
They achieved their fourth consecutive victory against Rangers and placed fourth in the standings, although they still have to certify their direct pass to the round of 16 on the last day, against Steaua Bucharest. But he has it in his hand.
Amorim’s team put the victory on track with an own goal, an absurd play by the Scottish team’s goalkeeper. The Danish Christian Eriksen took a corner and the goalkeeper hit the ball with his fists. But instead of coming out clear, he went in the opposite direction. And he went into his goal, in the 53rd minute.

But the crash went crazy at the end. Rangers managed to tie in the 88th minute, with a long pass from their own field by James Tavernier that signaled local defender Harry Maguire and was taken advantage of by Cyriel Dessers, who beat Turkish goalkeeper Altay Bayindir.
And when it seemed that two points were flying from Old Trafford and that United’s curse was also reaching Europe, Bruno Fernandes appeared to give the Amorim team the victory after finishing off a cross into the area by Argentine Lisandro Martínez.
