Manchester United secured a 2-0 victory over PAOK to mark their first win of the UEFA Europa League campaign this season.

The first half was a lacklustre show between two teams with the Red Devils struggling to capitalise on their home advantage.

Amad Diallo was brought down inside PAOK’s box but the referee decided not to award a penalty.

United turned up the heat after the break with Diallo heading it home.

The 22-year-old doubled his side’s lead in the 77th minute through his fantastic curling shot.

The Red Devils had a few more chances in the second half as PAOK struggled to replicate the intensity they had shown in the first half.

Player Ratings

Andre Onana – 7/10

The Cameroon international parried Camara’s rising shot for a corner in the first half. He also did well to help his side play out the back.

Noussair Mazraoui – 7/10

Mazraoui started as the right-back but often moved centrally to play as a midfielder when United had possession. He did well to support the attack.

Victor Lindelof – 6/10

The Sweden international did not make any errors.

Jonny Evans – 5/10

A sloppy clearance from Evans handed Camara a chance to take a shot. The veteran left his man unmarked inside the box but a straight shot at Onana preserved United’s lead.

Diogo Dalot – 5/10

His poor touch allowed PAOK to equalise right after Diallo’s first goal. He was taken off for Lisandro Martinez after the hour mark.

Manuel Ugarte – 6/10

It was a much-improved outing from the midfielder where he showed his ball-winning skills. He earned a yellow card from a tactical foul and was hooked off.

Casemiro – 7/10

He created United’s first big chance by floating a cross at the far post for Garnacho. The midfielder put on another decent shift.

Bruno Fernandes – 7/10

The United captain delivered two superb passes for Diallo to take shots, earning an assist from one of them.

Alejandro Garnacho – 4/10

It was a disappointing display from Garnacho. He misplaced a few passes which forced Fernandes to express his frustration.

Amad Diallo – 9/10

Diallo played with a point to prove and he was magnificent on his return to the starting XI.

An excellent header helped him score his first goal in over two months. He wrestled the ball away and curled a shot into the net to score his second goal.

Rasmus Hojlund – 4/10

The 21-year-old failed to beat the goalkeeper with a header from six yards. His hold-up play was abysmal and he looked off the pace throughout.

His expressions at the time of substitution showed he was unhappy with his display.

Substitutes

Marcus Rashford – 5/10

The winger delayed his through pass to Hojlund, forcing him into an offside position. He got a chance to score United’s third goal but dragged his shot wide.

Lisandro Martinez – 6/10

The Argentine looked robust at the left-back spot, offering more solidarity than Dalot.

Christian Eriksen – 5/10

The midfielder did nothing notable.

Mason Mount – N/A

Too late to rate.

Joshua Zirkzee – N/A

Too late to rate.
