There was work for Manchester United to do in Bucharest to round off a successful Europa League league phase, and their 2-0 victory over FCSB on Thursday saw them climb up to third in the table. United's efficient work in the Romanian capital means they ended the first phase of the competition as the only unbeaten team and have been rewarded by having February off.

Manchester United and Tottenham put their inconsistent domestic campaigns aside and advanced to Europa League round of 16 on Thursday. Diogo Dalot tapped in a precise cross by Kobbie Mainoo on the hour mark and Mainoo netted eight minutes later for a 2-0 victory over Romanian champion FCSB in Bucharest.

Manchester United are safely through to the knockout rounds of the Europa League despite a turbulent campaign so far. United did not win any of their first three games under Erik ten Hag, before interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ruben Amorim steadied the ship.
