Juan Mata “happy” with Manchester United victory over Rostov

Manchester United could only put one goal past Rostov but that was enough to give them their latest Europa League tie 2-1.

Mourinho’s position is made more acute by the knowledge that with United in sixth, and hoping to break into the top four by the end of the season, all five teams ahead of him are now free of European commitments and able to concentrate on their domestic programmes.

“I’ve never heard so much garbage in my life”, Keane said in his post-match analysis. It’s utter nonsense what he’s talking about.

The disappointment of losing at Stamford Bridge – in a last-eight tie which featured the controversial sending off of United midfielder Andre Herrera – was compounded by former Chelsea manager Mourinho’s current side facing travel problems on their return to Manchester.

“He told me if any of our players gets injured, the insurance paid”.

“The entire stadium gave him a big ovation”, Anderlecht spokesman David Steegen said, adding that the wealthy English club would be favored. He can’t deal with all the demands of the match.

Agnew will be hoping to have Calum Chambers, Daniel Ayala, George Friend, Rudy Gestede and Bernardo all available after recent knocks, although Gestede has seen his dismal record at Premier League level extend to only one win in 41 games for three different clubs. I’m sick to death of him.

Rostov very almost forced this tie into extra time when Christian Noboa hit a fantastic fee-kick from 25 yards, but Sergio Romero was up to the task, turning the ball away to ensure Manchester United would be a part of the Europa League quarterfinal draw for Friday.

He also refused to join in the joking over a weird mid-match scene which saw a peeled banana relayed onto the pitch for Marcos Rojo, saying: “I don’t know, if you were exhausted anytime in your life?”

But Keane believes that was all for show.

Republic of Ireland players be warned, Roy Keane is not now in a mood to be trifled with. “That was easier than a training session – 11 v 11 on the training pitch, that was easier than that”.

“In Portugal, every team that plays in Europe, they play on the next Monday”. He’s got other staff. The medical staff. He’s passing it onto Ashley Young, he’s passing it on. It’s not his fault, I think he deserves respect.
