Man United fans in joyous mood after their side beat Celta Vigo in the Europa League

Manchester United are on course to reach the Europa League final after edging past Celta Vigo 1-0 in the first leg of their last four clash.

Jose Mourinho’s men have seen their quest for a Premier League top four place take a hit in recent times, placing even greater pressure on achieving glory in Europe’s secondary competition as they look to return to the Champions League.

And 19-year-old Marcus Rashford has set them on their way to the final in Stockholm at the end of this month with his wonderful free-kick the difference in Vigo on Thursday night.

It means that United have a slender advantage and a crucial away goal to take to Old Trafford next Thursday, and they’ll be hot favourites to get the job down and thus advance to the showpiece on May 24, where Lyon or Ajax will be awaiting.

And several Red Devils supporters were in high spirits on social media last night after their side’s fine display in Vigo…

Great performance tonight in Spain. Thoroughly professional and a well deserved lead to bring back to OT. Well done @ManUtd #MUFC #United

While several Red Devils fans are anticipating their team reaching the final in Stockholm later this month, yet some are urging caution ahead of next week’s return leg at Old Trafford…

That feeling when you wake up and remember you’re one match away from an European final and two wins away from UCL football #MUFC

Really hope the team aren’t thinking the tie is won tonight. It’s a good result, but we still need to put in a top performance at OT! #MUFC
