A Cristiano Ronaldo chip thanks to his quick reactions and Jadon Sancho rocket fire Manchester United into the round of 16 of the UEFA champions league.

Manchester United we’re hosted by Villarreal this evening in the group stage of the champions league to determine who will look more likely of qualifying with a win. The first half was poor from United with sloppy organisation from attack to defence with the team barely getting a sniff of the ball. Donny van de beek also on his first start in a good few weeks had a somewhat decent game but was not seen for the full 90 due to a first half yellow card.

The second half was a big improvement for interm manger Michael Carricks side who brought on Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes who impact the game highly with Rashford making darting runs and getting in behind defenders to get himself a few chances against Villarreal goalkeeper Gerónimo Rulli. Fernandes even bagged himself an assist for Jadon Sanchos first Manchester United goal in the 90th minute of the game to seal the victory.

United host league leaders Chelsea this week looking to make an impact after their recent 4-1 defeat at Vicarage road to a dangerous Watford side will the Red Devils be able to handle Thomas Tuchels flying blues?
