Man United Vs Rangers: Fernandes Late Show Hands Red Devils Victory

Bruno Fernandes scored a stoppage-time winner as Manchester United beat Rangers 2-1 on Thursday to take a big step toward the Europa League round of 16. Rangers looked to have snatched a draw at Old Trafford when Cyriel Dessers leveled the game 1-1 in the 88th minute. But United captain Fernandes struck from close range four minutes later to secure a vital win that moved Ruben Amorim's team up to fourth in the standings with one round of games to go in the league phase.
