Rashford gives United 1-0 win in Europa League semis
AP, Vigo :
Marcus Rashford was decisive again, scoring from a free kick in the second half for Manchester United to beat Celta Vigo 1-0 in the first leg of the Europa League semifinals on Thursday.
Rashford, who netted an extra-time winner against Anderlecht in the quarterfinals, drove a right-foot strike over the wall and into the far left corner in the 67th minute, securing United the advantage going into the second leg in Manchester next week.
“It’s a positive result that leaves us with the advantage, but it’s a small advantage,” United coach Jose Mourinho said.
The Europa League is the only European club competition United has yet to win. It also gives United a good chance of returning to the Champions League, as it sits in fifth place in the Premier League.
