It's no secret that Jose Mourinho put European League in priority, because the winner will get a ticket to the Champions League for the next season, and the probability to fly past the top 4 in the national championship is very high.

Guest

"Red Devils" controlled the course of the meeting confidently, and their only goal scored in the middle of the second half, made by Marcus Rashford, was superbly struck from the penalty area.

Knowing about the strong attacking side of the Celta, Manchester United began to put pressure on the opponent from the first minutes, taking possession of the territorial advantage. Closer to the middle of the first half, after a solo passage Marcus Rashford, moved to the centre and fired into the far corner. The goal would have turned out to be beautiful, if not the magnificent save of Sergio Alvarez.

Until the end of the first half of the meeting Mourinho's wards had to open an account, but Mkhitaryan and Lingard, who fell out on a date with the goalkeeper, did not act properly.

The forward of the "Red Devils" Marcus Rashford decided the destiny of the meeting at the 67th minute when he sent the ball into the goal of Celta with a direct free kick. The wards of Jose Mourinho received the right to a free kick and Rashford struck it into the far corner from the standard position at a time when the goalkeeper of the Spaniards expected a blow to the closer corner. As a result, the ball hit the top corner of the goal.

Hosts

The hosts had only one scoring moment even with the score of 0-0. The only dangerous moment arose at the gate of Sergio Romero. Radoya performed a point transfer in the penalty area to Daniel Wass, but his header went out inaccurate. In the remaining time after the goal of Rashford Celta tried to score at least one goal, but in the end, it did not happen.
