Young Manchester United side cruise to last 16 of Europa League with crushing win over Midtjylland

Manchester United progressed to the last 16 of the Europa League after registering a crushing 5-1 victory over Midtjylland at Old Trafford on Thursday, finishing with an aggregate score of 6-3.

The Danish champions defeated the Premier League giants 2-1 in the first leg last week. Louis van Gaal and his men were determined to make it to the next round of the Europe’s second tier club competition.

United suffered a late blow when Anthony Martial was forced to be withdrawn from the starting lineup after he suffered a hamstring injury.
