Early morning of November 8 (Vietnam time), Man United will host PAOK in the group stage match of UEFA Europa League 2024-2025.
Under the leadership of interim manager Van Nistelrooy, Man United demonstrated a dynamic style of play and controlled the game from the first minutes.
A controversial incident occurred in the 17th minute, when Amad Diallo went down in the penalty area after colliding with a PAOK defender. However, after consulting VAR, the referee decided not to award the home team a penalty. This was also the only notable incident in the first half.
In the second half, Man United quickly took the lead. In the 50th minute, Bruno Fernandes made a delicate pass, allowing Amad Diallo to head the ball dangerously, hitting the post and then into the net.
The lead gave Man United players a boost. In the 77th minute, Amad Diallo once again showed his talent with an excellent move. He dribbled past the opponent's defense and finished from outside the box, raising the score to 2-0 for Man United.
In the remaining time, PAOK also could not create a significant threat towards Man United's goal. The away team mainly played defensively and could not launch effective attacks.
In the end, Man United won 2-0. This victory is important for Man United. The three points won helped the "Red Devils" significantly improve their position on the Europa League 2024-2025 rankings when they climbed to 15th place with 6 points after 4 matches.
