Manchester United eased through to the next stage with a 4-0 aggregate win against Real Sociedad, following last week’s comfortable defeat of the Spaniards in Turin with a 0-0 draw at Old Trafford.
Meanwhile, as the Reds were booking our place in the draw in Switzerland, Norwegians Molde were pulling off a sensational win in Germany against Hoffenheim.
Molde had drawn at home, 3-3 the week earlier, in their first match since 19 December, having had a winter break in Norway.
Erling Moe’s side won 2-0 away from home, against the odds, at Hoffenheim’s expense to go into the draw with United.
