MANCHESTER, England -- Manchester United's season might be on life support, but with Bruno Fernandes providing resuscitation, Ruben Amorim's team are still alive.
Hopes of salvaging something from this disastrous campaign rest on the UEFA Europa League. Thanks to United's captain, there's a quarterfinal tie against Lyon to look forward to next month.
Fernandes scored a hat trick as Real Sociedad were beaten 4-1 at Old Trafford on Thursday. It was enough for a 5-2 win on aggregate and a night which looked set to be filled with nerves and anxiety ended in a party atmosphere.
