Ruben Amorim said Manchester United’s progress to the Europa League last 16 with a 2-0 win over Romanian side FCSB will be crucial in his bid to revitalise his troubled team. Amorim’s men recovered from a patchy first half in Bucharest to secure the top-eight finish (third) that guaranteed automatic qualification for the last 16 on Thursday. Diogo Dalot broke the deadlock at the hour mark with a close-range finish from Kobbie Mainoo’s cross and the provider turned scorer eight minutes later as the England midfielder tucked away Alejandro Garnacho’s pass.
