Man Utd secures place in Europa League

Unlike in the Premier League, Man Utd are still unbeaten in the Europa League. On the morning of January 24, the "Red Devils" defeated Rangers 2-1 thanks to a goal in the second half of injury time by Bruno Fernandes.

Man Utd continued to show their usual characteristics. The home team missed many chances despite dominating most of the match. Coach Ruben Amorim's players had 16 shots, 6 on target, but it was not until the beginning of the second half that they opened the scoring thanks to a mistake by the Rangers goalkeeper.

Man Utd secured their place in the Europa League thanks to Bruno Fernandes' late goal.

In the 88th minute, it was Man Utd's defense's turn to make a mistake that led to the goal. Harry Maguire chose a bad position and missed the ball. Cyriel Dessers fired a decisive shot that beat goalkeeper Andre Onana, helping Rangers equalize.

However, Man Utd escaped losing points in the short time remaining. Bruno Fernandes received a pass from Lisandro Martinez and fired a shot into the Rangers net in the second minute of stoppage time. This was the decisive goal to help Man Utd win 2-1.

After 7 matches in the Europa League qualifying round, Man Utd is in fourth place with 15 points (4 wins, 3 draws). The Old Trafford team is sure to enter the knockout round of the tournament. If they maintain their position in the top 8, the "Red Devils" will have a direct place in the round of 16.

Apart from Man Utd, there are 14 other teams that are certain to advance to the Europa League, including another English representative, Tottenham. The only team that is guaranteed a place in the top 8 is Lazio (Italy) with 19 points after 7 consecutive matches without a loss (6 wins, 1 draw).

RFS (Latvia), Slavia Prague (Czech), Malmo FF (Sweden), Ludogorets Razgrad (Bulgaria), Qarabag (Azerbaijan), Nice (France) and Dynamo Kyiv (Ukraine) no longer have a chance to continue.
