Europa League | Martial strikes late as Man Utd seal quarter-finals spot

Manchester United moved into the quarter-finals of the Europa League as they secured a 7-1 aggregate win in their last-16 tie with LASK Linz at Old Trafford.

In the first-half, with the hosts holding a five-goal advantage from the first leg of the tie, both teams looked a little off the pace. However, there were chances: Andres Andrade headed against the bar for LASK, while Harry Maguire twice headed presentable opportunities over the woodwork. 

The Red Devils improved in the second half, but fell behind on 55 minutes when Philipp Weisinger curled home a beauty for the visitors. However, just two minutes later, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side were level thanks to Jesse Lingard, who slotted home with the aid of a slight deflection.

United went in search of the winner and found it when Anthony Martial, on as a sub, seized on Juan Mata's precise through-ball before finishing off his 23rd goal of the season.

The Red Devils will now play Danish side Copenhagen in Cologne in the Europa League quarter-finals on 10 August.

Inter Milan, Shakhtar Donetsk and Copenhagen also through

In the night's other action, Inter Milan booked their passage into the last eight with a 2-0 win over Spanish side Getafe.

Romelu Lukaku and Christian Eriksen scored for the Italian side who will now play either Rangers or Eintracht Frankfurt.

Shakhtar Donetsk, meanwhile, thumped German side VfL Wolfsburg 3-0 win to secure a 5-1 aggregate win, while Copenhagen beat Turkish champions Istanbul Basakshehir 3-0 at home to wipe out a 1-0 first-leg deficit.
