It took a 73-minute magic from Mason Greenwood to provide Manchester United with a win yesterday in the opener of Group L Europa League match.
Mason becomes the youngest ever goalscorer in the European competition.
Ole Gunnar Solskjær made nine changes to the United team that beat Leicester 1-0 on Saturday. Dalot, Jones, Rojo were employed into defence, with Fred joining Matic in defensive midfield. Greenwood, Chong and Gomes started behind lone striker Rashford.
Eighteen-year-old midfielder Garner was among the substitutes, while England international Lingard had to settle for a place on the bench after missing the Leicester game through illness.
Manchester United were confident going into the game but lacked finishing ability to put the game to bed in the early stages.
Astana appeared confident as the match progressed. The visitors got more players forward than in the early stages of the match but were quick to revert to their original shape when they lose possession. The first half ended with no breakthrough. Fred set the tone when he hit the crossbar, and since then there was pretty much attack against defence. Erić denied Rashford three times, and Greenwood had a couple of near misses.
The visitors almost opened the scores in the 61-minute. Tomasov had space on the right to pick a cross, which went just over the head of Janga, then Dalot got a touch and the ball went into Rotariu and behind.
The youngster, Mason Greenwood put Manchester United ahead in the 73-minute. Fred laid the ball out to the right-hand edge of the penalty area for Greenwood, who turned Rotariu a couple of times then shot, low, between the legs of Erić and finally United had their goal.
The game ended in favor of Manchester United. Not 18 for another 13 days, Greenwood grabbed his first senior goal 18 minutes from time to earn United three points. The home side were dominant throughout, Fred hitting the bar in the opening stages and Rashford denied on several occasions by the excellent Erić. However, in the end Greenwood took the Red Devils to victory.
