Who was Man of the Match against Villarreal?

We asked fans on our Official App and ManUtd.com to decide, with United supporters from all across the world able to cast their vote upon the completion of the encounter.

In what was a tightly contested first test for caretaker boss Michael Carrick and his side, the first half produced a cagey affair in which both teams looked to assert their dominance.

With just 12 minutes remaining, it seemed as though Ronaldo's delicate chip over Geronimo Rulli was to be the difference between the two sides, but a late strike from Sancho sealed the points and ensured United's progress to the last 16, with a game to spare.
