Manchester United are into the quarter-finals of the Europa League after sealing a 5-2 aggregate win over Real Sociedad at Old Trafford on Thursday.
Just as he did in the last 16 first leg, Mikel Oyarzabal scored from the penalty spot, giving the visiting Spaniards an early lead on the night to go ahead in the tie.
But Bruno Fernandes struck back from 12 yards at the other end following a foul on the much-improved Rasmus Hojlund. The United skipper then scored another penalty early in the second half to put his team in a commanding position, before Jon Aramburu was sent off for the visitors.
Fernandes completed his hat-trick from open play to make sure of the win in the closing stages, before Diogo Dalot ran up the score-line even later after La Real's heads had dropped.
