Manchester United recorded a 2-0 win over Sheriff Tiraspol on Thursday evening to get back to winning ways.

The team’s players were in self-congratulatory mood ahead of the flight back from Moldova to Manchester.

Bruno Fernandes also led the praise of supporters, who had travelled the long journey and provided added inspiration for the team. He posted on Instagram after the game.

Scott McTominay was one of Manchester United’s star players on the night, even though he only played the first 45 minutes.

His performance was appreciated in particular by teammate and new signing Antony, who left him an appreciative message on Instagram.

The France international posted on Instagram after the game to celebrate another clean sheet, and drew responses from three of his teammates.

Every time Varane has started this season, Manchester United have won. He is becoming increasingly important.

He touched the ball 93 times, completing 93 per cent of his passes, and won all four of his aerial duels. United are lucky to have him.
