Manchester United secured a dramatic 2-1 win over Rangers at Old Trafford on Thursday night.
Cyriel Dessers equalised in the 88th minute after a Jack Butland own-goal gave United the lead.
However, Bruno Fernandes struck in injury time to secure a valuable Europa League victory.
The win boosts United’s hopes of automatically qualifying out of the group stage.
Despite the win, United’s season under Ruben Amorim continues to disappoint.
The Red Devils sit 13th in the Premier League table after 20 games in a miserable campaign.
A major issue has been their poor goal output, with only four teams scoring fewer than United.

United’s forwards, particularly Marcus Rashford, Rasmus Hojlund, and Joshua Zirkzee, have struggled.
Rashford reportedly wants a “new challenge,” while Hojlund has been inconsistent.
Zirkzee, who joined for £36.5m in the summer, has faced heavy criticism for his performances.
The Dutchman has scored just four goals in 32 appearances across all competitions this season.
Zirkzee endured another frustrating night against Rangers, registering only four box touches.
Former Rangers striker Ally McCoist commented on TNT Sports: “I think he’s done alright Zirkzee, but I’ll say it again.
“I think from Manchester United’s point of view you’d like to see more of a goalscoring threat as well as he played.”
Rio Ferdinand was more critical, branding Zirkzee “non-existent” in the first half.
Speaking after the match, Ferdinand said: “I thought he was non-existent in the first half, to be honest, but I thought he improved in the second half.
“He still wasn’t a real threat on the goal, but they got their goal in the end.”
Zirkzee was substituted by Ruben Amorim in the 88th minute, moments before Rangers equalised.
Amorim will hope for an improvement from his forwards as United seek to turn their season around.
