"At halftime it should have been three or at least two (goals) but the result is open", the Portuguese told reporters.

Celta Vigo's John Guidetti has warned Manchester United that a 2-1 Old Trafford victory is well within the Spanish side's grasp.

"In the last match at Old Trafford (a 1-1 draw in November), we shook hands before and after - I remember that I still met him in the corridor for the press conferences, we shook hands again".

Berizzo said, "We have competed equally with a great rival who has lost of passion, who play as a unit".

The Premier League side take a one-goal lead back to Old Trafford to face Celta Vigo thanks to Rashford's wonderful freekick at the Estadio Municipal de Balaídos. A 1-0 win at Balaidos will go some way to ensuring that.

There is a huge battle in the Premier League for that all-important Champions League spot next season, with both Manchester United and Arsenal hot on the tails of Liverpool and Manchester City.

Things looked to be getting a bit shaky in the second period with Sergio Romero been tested by Pione Sisto but Rashford made the difference with his excellent set piece, Mourinho stated his dissatisfaction with result but was quick to praise the efforts of his players. "Sometimes training sessions finish for the group and he'll keep doing his individual work with my assistants".

Fans of the Red Devils will instantly be reminded of the likes of Eric Cantona, David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo, who all put in extra work to become the very best in the game.

Arsenal , in particular, could be in dire need to sign at least one attacking player when the transfer window opens in June. But his performances in the Champions League did impress this season.

"The free-kick is work".

Marcus Rashford was the man of the hour tonight, providing the game's only scoring on a free kick.

Aspas then fired narrowly wide and Pogba tried to catch Alvarez out of position with a free-kick from just inside Celta's half but the ball hit the side netting.

While Ashley Young, a late substitute, limped off, Rashford was also replaced towards the end and each player's availability for Sunday's trip to Arsenal may be a doubt.

Mourinho said, via 101greatgoals: "It's what I have to do".

United remain in contention for a top four finish - they now sit just a point behind Manchester City - but with trips to Arsenal and Tottenham to come during the run-in, Mourinho has made the Europa League his clear priority.

"I don't like to say this competition is for one goalkeeper, that competition is for another one", he said.
