Manchester United drew down on a direct trip to the Europa League last 16 with a late winner from Bruno Fernandes against Rangers on Thursday. The Red Devils appeared to be in for further disappointment at Old Trafford when Cyriel Dessers equalized for an injury-ravaged Rangers in the 88th minute. However, Fernandes saved United’s blushes and maybe the playoff round by smashing home in stoppage time.
“It was a victory that we truly needed in this moment,” remarked United manager Ruben Amorim. With one match remaining in the league phase, United moves up to fourth place in the table.
Rangers, currently in 13th place, fought valiantly despite coach Philippe Clement’s decision to use two teenagers off the bench in the second half due to injury issues. Reported By Sport ND TV.
“I saw everybody gutted in the dressing room that we lost after playing that kind of game,” Clement said. “I am also very proud of what the team did today, sticking to the plan with real.
