Paul Pogba scored the winner on his Man United return as they edged past AC Milan at the San Siro to reach the quarter-finals

Manchester United reached the Europa League quarter-finals after a brilliantly-taken Paul Pogba goal earned them a 1-0 win at AC Milan to secure a 2-1 aggregate victory in their last-16 tie on Thursday.

Pogba came off the bench at halftime to make his first appearance for United since Feb. 6, and the France midfielder made an immediate impact as he turned the tie in his sideโ€™s favour three minutes after the break with a fine goal.
Former United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic came on as a substitute to try to drag Milan back into the match, and he almost equalised in the 74th minute but was denied by a good save from the visitorsโ€™ goalkeeper Dean Henderson.
Milan applied plenty of late pressure but United held on to remain in the hunt to win their first trophy since a Europa League success under Jose Mourinho in 2017.
Elsewhere, Scottish champions Rangers were knocked out of the Europa League, losing 3-1 on aggregate to Slavia Prague after a 2-0 defeat in the last-16 second leg at Ibrox.
