Manchester United have finally broken the deadlock during Thursday night’s Europa League group game against FC Sheriff.
Despite struggling to break their Moldovian opponents down, the Red Devils have undoubtedly been the game’s better side.
Dominating play since the match first kicked off, Erik Ten Hag will be pleased with the display his team have put on. The Dutchman’s only concern would have been how long it was going to take before his side put the ball in the back of the net, and thankfully, the manager’s prayers have been answered.
