Rasmus Hojlund struggled to make any sort of impact again, as his goal drought extended to 18 games. Amorim introduced Obi to turn the tie in United's favour, which in itself was a damning indicator of his confidence in Hojlund. And in the 52 minutes he played, the 17-year-old had three big chances.

Manchester United chose to add January signings Patrick Dorgu and Ayden Heaven to their updated Europa League squad, along with a highly-rated academy product. It emerged this week that teenage forward Chido Obi will not feature for the remainder of United's Europa League campaign, which restarts on Thursday night against Real Sociedad.

Obi, 17, has made three senior appearances in the last few weeks for United having joined from Arsenal in October.
