Summary: Manchester United - Sherif Tiraspol 0:3 (Sport1)
There were many reasons to smile last night (Thursday) in Manchester United, who defeated Sheriff Tirspol 0:3 and recorded their fourth consecutive victory in the Europa League, when in the final round next week the Red Devils will be able to overtake Real Sociedad on the way to the top of the fifth division - if they beat The Basques with a difference of two goals or more.
Even Cristiano Ronaldo smiled.
The Portuguese returned to the squad after being suspended following his refusal to come on as a substitute against Tottenham, completed 90 minutes and scored the third goal.
Coach Eric ten Haah admitted that he was impressed by CR7's performance: "He didn't stop working to get to the right positions, and the team worked to put him in them. He didn't give up. This is his entire career, this is why he is so good, and he got the reward for that." .
He smiled too.

The one who ignited the imagination of the fans at Old Trafford was the 18-year-old Argentinian attacker Alejandro Granacho.
After receiving only 22 so far in all competitions this season, Granacho started in the lineup and played until the 78th minute, when at the end Ronaldo came to hug him and congratulate him on the good game.
"Don't know if it's real, or I'm dreaming," Granacho tweeted, accompanied by a photo of himself with Cristiano after the game.
"Manchester United can no longer ignore Granacho," wrote the "Manchester Evening News" about the young prospect, "the boy stole the show and was the standout player against Sheriff. The 18-year-old took the opportunity to show his younger brother what He missed the start of the season. As the game progressed, he gained more confidence. United have had no outstanding options on the left wing this season, Jadon Sancho is struggling to be consistent and Marcus Rashford has been moved to the striker position. It will be a big surprise if Granacio stays in the lineup against West Ham this weekend,
But totally worth considering it.
This story has only just begun."

In England they did not like Antony's rounds
The one who received criticism for one strange move was the Brazilian Antoni, who received a ball on the wing and performed three rounds on the spot, in an action that was perceived as disrespectful.
United's former player, commentator Paul Scholes, entered in Antony: "It's not a move of talent or of entertainment, it's just being a clown. I didn't understand what he achieved with it. Even before that, he didn't do anything in the game."
Ten Haah, who brought the Brazilian to the bench during the break, commented on the move and explained that it was not the reason for the substitution: "The substitution was quite planned. I wanted to see Cristiano and Rashford closer to each other, and Granacho was good."
Scholes, by the way, was also enthusiastic about Granazzo and compared him to "the young Cristiano Ronaldo": "He entertained the crowd. His display was exciting and there is something to look forward to in the future."
