Man Utd into Europa League last 16 with win over Siya Ngezana's FCSB

The victory propelled the Red Devils into the last 16 of the competition, as they maintained their unbeaten run in the league phase.

The match began with FCSB, known for their formidable home record, putting early pressure on United.

However, after Mihai Popescu missed a close chance from a set-piece, Manchester United took control. 

19-year-old midfielder Kobbie Mainoo had two notable opportunities in the first half, but couldn't convert them into goals.

The second half saw United step up their game, with Amorim's tactical substitutions paying off when Alejandro Garnacho nearly scored immediately after coming on.

The breakthrough eventually came on the hour mark, when Diogo Dalot scored from a well-executed move off a throw-in.

Mainoo then doubled the lead ten minutes later, capitalizing on a pass from Garnacho.

Ruben Amorim, reflecting on the game, praised his team's performance: "I think we controlled the game very well. We had more possession, so we had more time to think and connect the plays.

"Kobbie played very well in that position, with more freedom... The lads did a good job – another clean sheet. We created chances, but we have to score more goals."

However, two goals were enough to secure the victory, leaving FCSB to settle for a spot in the knockout play-offs.

Bafana Bafana's Ngezana played the full 90 minutes, earning valuable experience againt one of European football's giants.
