Sheriff Tiraspol

The Reds claimed our first Europa League success of the season, as we comfortably brushed aside the Moldovan champions.

Substitute Luke Shaw looked to make an impact upon his introduction, breaking forward well down the left flank with 10 minutes remaining. The Portugal international's effort unfortunately sailed a little too high, as Ten Hag's men continued to dominated proceedings. But it was to be a successful evening in Moldova, as we posted three points on the board. The Reds were soon two goals to the good however, with Diogo Dalot brought down by Patrick Kpozo inside the area. The England international latched onto a clever inside pass from Christian Eriksen, before turning onto his left foot to slip home. Ronaldo went in search of his second of the evening with a whole host of United players involved in the build-up.

Manchester United will be eager to avoid any slip-ups when they take on Moldovan minnows Sheriff Tiraspol in the Europa League this evening.Erik ten H.

After losing our opening Europa League game against Real Sociedad last Thursday, Erik ten Hag's bounced back thanks to first half goals from Jadon Sancho and a ...

It was the five-time Ballon d’Or winner’s 699th club goal and it was his first in the Europa League. With United’s next Premier League a testing trip to Manchester City after the international break, and with the 30-year-old yet to start his first game in the top-flight, the Dutchman could well retain McTominay and Eriksen as his midfield partnership with United’s number 18 having to settle for a place on the bench once again. But it was Malacia not the England international who slotted in at right-back to fill the void left by United’s number 20.

How the Manchester United players played as Erik ten Hag's men beat Sheriff Tiraspol 2-0 in the Europa League.

Subbed on at half-time and his performance was promising, showing signs of getting up to full speed. Scored a remarkably well-taken goal on his left foot, and was very unlucky to not score another with a shot cleared off the line. Was having quite a poor all-round performance, but then finally got his first goal of the season from the penalty spot. Made some nice runs in behind at times, but needs to drop deep less. Once again led the side well, has responded strongly to being given the armband in recent games by Ten Hag. Just a wonderful, wonderful playmaker.
