Fernandes scores late as Manchester United beat Rangers
Sports
BRUNO Fernandes marked his 50th Europa League appearance on Thursday with a stoppage-time winner as Manchester United snatched a 2-1 win over Rangers.
The win moves United closer to the round of 16.
After Cyriel Dessers levelled in the 88th minute, Fernandes popped up with a crucial strike that will come as a huge relief to Ruben Amorim.
United had seen a first-half header from Matthijs De Ligt controversially ruled out but led through a bizarre own goal from their former back-up goalkeeper Jack Butland.
The win moves United up to fourth in the standings, two clear of the cut off for the top eight places.
But Rangers, who at least scored against United for the first time in five meetings, dropped to 13th, with the play-offs looming large.(dpa/NAN)
