PLAYER RATINGS: Lisandro Martinez marshals Manchester United's backline expertly while Casemiro again impresses in midfield as Robert Lewandowski fails to make much of an impression for Barcelona beyond his penalty

Manchester United overturned a 1-0 half-time deficit to beat Barcelona 2-1 and thus advance to the next stage of the Europa League, winning 4-3 on aggregate.

On a feverish night at Old Trafford, Erik ten Hag's side further emphasised the enormous improvements they've made this season as goals from Fred and Antony saw them overcome the Spanish giants, who had led through Robert Lewandowski's penalty.

Pinned back for much of the first half, United rode their luck at times and could have found themselves further behind at the break but they rallied and emerged in the second half with the bit between their teeth.
