00:00Bruno Fernandes scored late on as Manchester United defeated Rangers 2-1 at Old Trafford in the Battle of Britain in the Europa League.
00:09Manchester United were the better side throughout the encounter, but were made to sweat late on.
00:13A Harry Maguire error allowed Rangers 88th minute equaliser.
00:18They looked like they had snatched a point, only for Bruno Fernandes to volley in from an expertly placed cross from Rosado Martinez to seal the win for Manchester United.
00:27A win that they did deserve. Ruben Amorim had made five changes for the team, a loss against Brighton at the weekend.
00:33He lay all of it to Manchester United, possibly the worst team in United's history. Well, they're the worst team to the one that we saw tonight.
00:39Altair Bahinde made a strong impression in goal, a couple of good saves early on. It was pivotal for United going on to win the match.
00:47Rangers had the better of the opportunities early on, but they wasted them and United would take advantage.
00:53There wasn't too much quality for United in the first half themselves. Amman and Garnachero both had efforts blocked in the box.
00:59Rosado Martinez found a spectacular effort as well from long range, but United couldn't find a way through to Rangers' goal.
01:05And that was despite the fact that they had, well, what was a fair goal chalked off.
01:10That tennis delict is headed in from a corner, but the referee disallowed it for a foul in the build-up.
01:16It was a very soft foul as well. United should have led 1-0 half-time, but they didn't.
01:20It didn't take long, though, after the breeze stopped, for they did have a lead.
01:23Jack Butler never played during this spell at Manchester United, but he made perhaps his biggest impact when he punched a Christian Eriksen corner into his own net.
01:32He wouldn't have struck the net to give United the lead. United wasted further opportunities to put the game to bed.
01:38There was a header from Bugate, a header from Maguire. Garnachero hit the post.
01:42United, though, looked on course for a scrappy, gritty 1-0 win.
01:46That was for the error from Harry Maguire, who was off the bench to give Rangers that dramatic equaliser.
01:52It did look like that would have been it. United would have dropped points again in Europe.
01:56The in-quest would have continued, but Ruben Amirov has asked for character from his side.
02:00He says they get nervous, they get anxious. They did it tonight.
02:03They responded in style, a beautiful cross from Sandro Martinez.
02:06And there was Bruno Fernandes, the captain, to volley into the stripper's end to win it for Manchester United and to improve their Europa League campaign.
02:15This is still a tournament. United feel they can win.
02:17It is probably their only realistic chance of getting into the Champions League again next season.
02:22Full-time from Old Trafford, Manchester are 2, Rangers 1.
02:25They will have tougher tests than this in Europe this season, but they will overcome this one.
02:29And they do deserve a huge credit for doing that.
