Manchester United wins in Europe for the first time in 380 days
Manchester United has not won in Europe for more than a year. The long-awaited three points were achieved by an interim coach Ruud van Nistelrooy, who led the team to a 2-0 win over PAOK in the Europa League.
Before that, Erik ten Hag had three draws from the start of the season, putting the team's participation in the play-offs in doubt.
Amad Diallo's double decided the fate of the match with a brace - the first one for the Ivorian in a Manchester United shirt.
Van Nistelrooy's side have wins over Leicester and PAOK and a draw with Chelsea after the resignation of ten Hag.
