Manchester United take on AS Roma in the second-leg of their UEFA Europa League semi-final meeting in the driving seat to reach the final.
The Red Devils racked up a comprehensive 6-2 victory in the first-leg at Old Trafford and should progress unless there is a dramatic swing in fortunes.
AS Roma
To say it has been a lively week for the Giallorossi would certainly be putting things lightly. It was a week that started with the thumping at the hands of the Red Devils and things have really not got quieter since. They were then defeated 2-0 by Sampdoria at the weekend, leaving their hopes of UEFA Champions League football in Serie A in tatters. This led to the announcement that current Head Coach Pa…
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Juan Mata applauded Marcus Rashford after the striker became the third youngest player to reach 200 matches for Manchester United in Saturday s win over Norwich City.
United cruised to a 4-0 victory at Old Trafford and Rashford got two of the goals, generally impressing as he tormented the Norwich defence until his second-half withdrawal.
The 22-year-old was representing the first team for the 200th time; only United greats George Best and Ryan Giggs have reached that landmark at a younger age than the England international.
Manager Solskjaer and team-mate Mata – the creator of two goals in the win – were full of praise for the United youth product, who has scored 19 times in all competitions this season.
Mata told BBC Sport:…
The 2021-22 season was one to forget for Manchester United, with the club failing to even come close to finishing in the top four in the Premier League.
A campaign that saw them replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as manager with interim coach Ralf Rangnick eventually ended in a sixth-place finish, 13 points behind Tottenham in fourth and a whopping 35 away from champions Manchester City.
One player who came in for particular criticism last season was captain Harry Maguire, who has struggled to recreate his impressive form for England at club level since a big money move from Leicester City in 2019.
Speaking during United s pre-season tour of Australia, Maguire said: Last year was disappointing. As an individual I didn t play well and as a team, we certainly didn t pl…
Antonio Colak s strike sealed Rangers return to the Champions League group stages as they edged out PSV 3-2 on aggregate in the play-offs.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst s side are back in the main stages of Europe’s premier competition after a 12-year absence, as Colak settled the second leg at the Philips Stadion.
Malik Tillman robbed Andre Ramalho of possession inside the PSV penalty area on the hour mark, before squaring for the Croatian to apply the finishing touch.
And last season s Europa League finalists held out to inflict only a second home defeat on PSV in 14 matches across all competitions.
Rangers had won just once in their previous 11 away matches in Europe, but went close to scoring despite PSV carrying the greater threat earlier on.

Tottenham Hotspur have that defender Jan Vertonghen and goalkeeper Michel Vorm are leaving the club.
Vertonghen joined Spurs from Ajax in 2012 and made a total of 314 appearances in all competitions in their shirt, scoring 14 goals as a defender. He was a very important player for the team in the earlier stages of Mauricio Pochettino s five-year spell in the dugout, but he recently started losing his place in the starting XI and obviously chose not to extend his contract. Manchester City, Inter Milan and AS Roma have been credited with interest in securing the services of the 33-year-old Belgium international on a free transfer.
So my time at the club comes to an end. A sad day for many reasons. I will miss the friends I’ve made here, the staff that make the club run…
Erling Haaland holds the key to the door when the striker decides he wants to leave Manchester City, according to his agent Rafael Pimenta.
The Norway international has taken the Premier League by storm since signing for Pep Guardiola s side from Borussia Dortmund ahead of this season.
Haaland has 25 goals after just 19 top-flight appearances for City following his fourth league hat-trick of the season in a 3-0 thumping of Wolves on January 22.
After already surpassing the tally that Mohamed Salah and Son Heung-min (23 each) recorded to win the 2021-22 Golden Boot, the 22-year-old is the most clinical finisher in world football.
Real Madrid have repeatedly been credited with an interest in the forward, whose agent suggested Haaland has the freedom to choo…
Erling Haaland could reach 40 goals in a record-breaking debut campaign with Manchester City, according to former Liverpool and England striker Emile Heskey.
Haaland has hit the ground running since joining the Premier League champions from Borussia Dortmund, scoring 14 goals in his first 10 games for Pep Guardiola s men in all competitions.
That tally includes 11 goals in seven Premier League appearances, and the Norwegian was named the competition s Player of the Month after scoring nine goals in five outings in August – the best return managed by any player in their first five games in the competition.
The striker s rich vein of form suggests he could trouble the record for most goals in a single Premier League season, which is jointly held by Andrew Cole an…
