Manchester United progressed to the Europa League last 16 after playing out a goalless draw with Real Sociedad at Old Trafford to see them go through 4-0 on aggregate. Amad Diallo, Man United’s most recent signing, made his home debut as a second-half substitute in the fixture.
Dele Alli scored a stunning overhead kick, a Gareth Bale goal and a Vinicius brace were enough to send Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham into the last-16 of Europa League.
