Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Rangers secured direct passage to the UEFA Europa League round of 16 with Matchday 8 wins.

How does the UEFA Europa League play-off draw work? When is it? Who could Manchester United, Spurs and Rangers face? Who could play who?

Ruben Amorim has said Manchester United are “a better team” with Marcus Rashford and that they need to score more goals. The England international has missed 11 straight games since being left out of the team for the victory over Manchester City on December 15.

Manchester United delivered the result that Ruben Amorim had demanded as they beat FCSB 2-0 to qualify for the Europa League last 16 stage. Already guaranteed a play-off place at the minimum, the United boss had urged his side to finish the job in Bucharest by sealing a top eight finish and watched his side do just that thanks to a much improved second half performance.

Carlton Cole says Sir Jim Ratcliffe needs to tell Ruben Amorim to ‘shut his mouth’ as he is ‘killing’ Marcus Rashford and his price tag by incessantly criticising the forward in public. Rashford revealed that he was seeking a ‘new challenge’ away from Old Trafford after being left out of last month’s Manchester derby and the attacker’s future has been the subject of intense speculation this January.

Marcus Rashford only has one transfer offer on the table, with Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim no longer on speaking terms with the striker and a club legend stating that he deserves “banished”.
