Manchester United cruised through to the Europa League knockout stages after goals from Diogo Dalot and Kobbie Mainoo earned the Premier League side a 2-0 victory over Steaua Bucharest on Thursday. Coming into their trip to Romania,
Diogo Dalot was very impressed with Kobbie Mainoo's performance in the No.10 position in Man United's 2-0 win over FCSB.
Romanian football team FCSB was defeated 0-2 by the UK’s Manchester United on Thursday, January 30, in the last round of the main group stage of the Europa League. The Romanian champions finished their group in 11th and secured qualification for the competition's play-offs.
United require victory to secure an automatic berth in March's round of 16, while a draw and even a defeat could also suffice, depending on results elsewhere. Should we fail to make the top eight, there is always the play-off round, which gets under way in two weeks' time.
Manchester United progressed to the last-16 of the Europa League with a 2-0 win over FCSB at the National Arena in Romania on Thursday night. After knocking on the door for much of the evening, United eventually found a way through when Diogo Dalot turned home Kobbie Mainoo's low cross on the hour mark.
Football fans of a certain age will remember the punchy Romania team at the 1994 World Cup, led by Gheorghe Hagi and Ilie Dumitrescu. Dumitrescu later had a brief time in the Premier League with Tottenham, and he is currently working as a TV analyst in Romania.
