Ruben Amorim says avoiding a two-legged Europa League playoff is the “biggest thing” to come from Manchester United ’s win over FCSB. United were already guaranteed to a top 24 finish in the brand new league phase format prior to kick-off at the National Arena in Bucharest.

The England international traded places with Leny Yoro, flanked by Matthihs de Ligt and match-winner Lisandro Martinez. It was the first time the trio had started together since the FA Cup triumph over Arsenal 14 days earlier.
