Man Utd vs Sheriff Europa League result and final score tonight as Cristiano Ronaldo strikes – live

80 mins: There’s a big round of applause for Alejandro Garnacho who goes off the pitch to be replaced with Donny van de Beek for Manchester United. Van de Beek gets an equally warm welcome on his introduction.

United win another free kick about 25-yards out and Ronaldo smokes it into the wall.

77 mins: Save! Ronaldo is dispossessed on the edge of the box but United recycle the ball and send it to Rashford who fizzes one from range and forces a diving stop out of Koval who palms the ball wide of the right-hand post.

74 mins: Alejandro Garnacho makes another darting run into the box from the left but he’s stopped in his tracks by a sliding tackle from Renan Guedes.

71 mins: Manchester United continue to push for more goals. Cristiano Ronaldo in particular wants to get one tonight. He’s got a little under 20 minutes to find one.

68 mins: Scott McTominay and Luke Shaw come on now for Manchester United with Diogo Dalot and Casemiro taken off. Tyrell Malacia has been moved over to the right-back position.

Real Sociedad have scored again against Omonia and lead that game 2-0.

65 mins: Man Utd double their lead!

Christian Eriksen slides the ball over to the left wing where Luke Shaw runs into space. The substitute lifts a cross into the middle of the box and Marcus Rashford is free to whip his head onto the ball and power it past the goalkeeper to add a second for the Red Devils.

63 mins: Disallowed goal! Garnacho brings a diagonal ball down on the left side and plays it inside to Casemiro. He rolls the ball to Rashford who flicks it into the box for Fernandes.

He nods the ball across to Ronaldo who volleys it into the back of the net on the turn only to see the offside flag raised on the touchline.

The frustrated striker then picks up the ball and angrily boots it into row Z.

60 mins: Chance! How close can Cristiano Ronaldo come without scoring?

He’s given the ball on the edge of the box, shuffles away from a defender then whips a shot wide of the far top corner.

Erik ten Hag is readying a couple more substitutions on the sidelines.

57 mins: Moussa Kyabou hacks down Christian Eriksen 25-yards out from goal and gifts a free kick to Manchester United. It’s prime Ronaldo range to go for goal.

Ronaldo and Eriksen stand over the deadball but it’s Eriksen who hits one and he lifts his effort up and over the goal.

54 mins: Marcus Rashford looks to weave his way into the box and gets inside of one defender before running into trouble. Renan Guedes takes the ball off him and Rashford leans too heavily on the defender when trying to win it back.
