Manchester United recorded their first Europa League win of the campaign on Thursday evening, beating Sheriff Tiraspol 2-0 at the Zimbru Stadium in Moldova.
After being beaten 1-0 by Real Sociedad in their Group E opener last week, United got their first points on the board without too much fuss, thanks to goals from Jadon Sancho and Cristiano Ronaldo.
The duo struck before half-time to ensure the Reds recorded a comfortable victory. As well as Sancho's and Ronaldo's first-half goals securing a first Europa League group stage win of the season, they also secured a third successive away win without conceding, following the recent Premier League successes over Southampton (1-0) and Leicester City (1-0).
Manager Erik ten Hag reverted back to his strongest back-four, handing recalls to Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez.
