BRUNO FERNANDES proved the hero for Manchester United as they rescued all three points late on.
Match Report
The Red Devils failed to impress yet again but have automatic qualification almost sewn up thanks to dramatic ending.
United thought they had taken the lead through a Matthijs de Ligt header in the first half, but it was ruled out after a VAR check as Leny Yoro was judged to have fouled Robin Propper.
The decision was soft so United will have felt justice was served when Butland punched the ball into the back of his own net from a corner after half-time.
But United did not push on from there and were pegged back late on as Cyriel Dessers brought down a long ball before firing in with his second touch.
Harry Maguire played the striker onside and failed to deal with the long pass to him, leaving Dessers one-on-one.
But his blushes were spared by his captain as Fernandes strolled into the back post and reached the end of a cross to fire the ball between Butland's legs.

MY OBSERVATIONS: 1. First of all, congratulations to Manchester United for the victory deserved. 2. I don't know whether someone told Manchester United players that one goal equals five. They score one goal and relax so much, playing like a team leading with five goals. 3. Amad played today like AMA. He was just concerned about only scoring goals. 4. Garnacho is very useful to Manchester United. In my opinion, they shouldn't sell him. 5. Even the referee opined that Maguire's defending against that equaliser was DIABOLIC. Maguire is an on and off defender and a very serious risk to his own team. 6. The Coach is gradually selling in his philosophy and it's just a matter of time and Manchester United will bounce back

Man Utd were 13th when they sacked Ten Hag Since then, they have: Signed Ruben Amorim, turned Amad into Messi and Maguire into Maldini, removed Rashford from the squad, beat Man City away in the derby and outplayed Liverpool at Anfield. ...and they are still 13th in the table😁😆😅
