Europa League score and updates as Diogo Dalot breaks deadlock - A win will secure Manchester United’s spot in the top eight but Ruben Amorim’s side face a difficult test in Romania

A vastly improved second-half performance saw Manchester United defeat FCSB 2-0 in their final match of the Europa League league phase. Diogo Dalot and Kobbie Mainoo scored after Ruben Amorim made positive changes at half-time.

Manchester United, unbeaten in eight games in the tournament, finished in third place and Tottenham came fourth, ensuring the Premier League clubs both avoided the Europa League play-off round.

Diogo Dalot enjoyed a consistent 2023/24 but his form has dropped off and he doesn't look the perfect fit for Amorim.

Manchester United are through to the last 16 of the UEFA Europa League, following a 2-0 win away to FCSB on the eighth and final matchday of the competition's league phase. Two goals in the space of eight second-half minutes were enough to earn the victory, with Diogo Dalot opening the scoring at Romania's National Arena on the hour mark.

Mainoo has, until now, been deployed as one of the two central midfielders in Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 formation but was moved up into an attacking midfield role to great success during Thursday’s match, with Bruno Fernandes dropping back into central midfield.

A club of Manchester United’s stature should be good enough to win the Europa League, to conquer some of the continent’s weaker, less affluent rivals and give Ruben Amorim a major trophy in his first season.

Ruben Amorim said Manchester United's progress to the Europa League last 16 with a 2-0 win over Romanian side FCSB will be crucial to his bid to revitalise his troubled team.

Manchester United and Tottenham put their inconsistent domestic campaigns aside and advanced to Europa League round of 16 on Thursday.

As The Athletic revealed on Tuesday, United head coach Ruben Amorim damaged a screen in their dressing room following the 3-1 home defeat by Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday. The news comes after Amorim called his team “maybe the worst” United side in history in the press conference after their seventh defeat in his 15 games in charge.

Manchester United secured their Europa League last-16 spot by defeating Romanian side FCSB 2-0, while Tottenham Hotspur, amidst their struggles, relied on their youth talent for a win against Elfsborg to progress on Thursday.
