Manchester United beat Partizan at Old Trafford to qualify for Europa League knockout stages with two games to spare.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made four changes following Saturday's defeat against Bournemouth, giving another chance to 18-year-old Mason Greenwood in the starting XI.
The Red Devils created a bunch of opportunities in the first minutes of the game and, inevitably, the first goal came on the 22nd minute, scored by Greenwood, showing off his confidence, looking fearless in front of goal.
Anthony Martial, 11 minutes later, doubled the lead for Manchester United after he sat down two defenders in superb piece of individual play before toe-poking the ball under the keeper.
At the start of the second-half, Marcus Rashford scored the third for United, as the game cooled down with the home side cruising into the knockout stages of Europa League.
In the other game of the group, AZ Alkmaar travelled to Kazakhstan to play against Astana and crushed the hosts with a dominant 5-0 away win. The Dutch side kept their second place in Group L and with this result, they have a four point gap to third placed Partizan.
A good night's work for #MUFC means we're through to the last 32 of the #UEL 👍
