Hold on to your hat: Manchester United are victorious in Europe after three consecutive Europa League draws and three more without winning in last season’s Champions League.

So a 380-day drought stretching to a 1-0 win over FC Copenhagen at Old Trafford on 24 October 2023 ends courtesy of Amad Diallo, whose explosive wing play was crowned by his double. The first was a clever 51st-minute header. The second proved an exhibition of aggressiveness as he mugged Abdul Baba along the right, shrugged off the defender’s manhandling, then fired a shot into the left corner, via a deflection.
