Manchester United qualify for Europa League quarter-finals with 1-0 victory at AC Milan

Manchester United claimed a place in the Europa League quarter-finals courtesy of a 1-0 victory away at the San Siro over AC Milan.

Substitute Paul Pogba scored the game’s only goal which proved enough to triumph over the Italians 2-1 on aggregate.

Coming into the second leg, the tie was finely balanced following last Thursday’s 1-1 draw in the first leg when Simon Kjær scored a stoppage-time equaliser for Milan.

Since then, both sides had returned to league action and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer opted to keep the same starting 11 from Sunday’s 1-0 Premier League win against West Ham at home.
