Europa League review: Rashford rasper puts United in charge

Manchester United are still on course to qualify for the Champions League via the Europa League after a Marcus Rashford free kick registered a crucial away goal in their two-legged squabble with Celta Vigo.

Despite Jose Mourinho’s lack of interest in the Europa League, the bookies have made them favourites from the moment they kicked a ball. Today, Mourinho is very interested in this competition, and they remain the bookie’s favourites after a comfortable one-nil win in Spain.

Bodog had United pegged at the +115 favourite to return from Celta Vigo with a win tucked underneath their shorts. The brilliant Marcus Rashford made sure of that, just as he did against Anderlecht in the quarter-finals.

The teenager scored a brilliant free kick in the 67th minute to take them into their second leg at Old Trafford on Thursday in a position of strength.
