Mkhitaryan, Ibrahimovic send Manchester United to Europa League knockout stage

Manchester United is on to the UEFA Europa League knockout stage, after goals from Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Zlatan Ibrahimovic cemented a 2-0 victory over Zorya in Ukraine in their group finale on Thursday. United goes through in second place, after Fenerbahce won the group with a 1-0 victory over Feyenoord.

Mkhitaryan opened the scoring in the 48th minute with his first official goal for United since joining the club from Borussia Dortmund in a lucrative summer transfer. The goal was a magnificent solo effort, as Mkhitaryan glided through the Zorya defense before finishing low and to the far post.
