AFP - Bruno Fernandes scored twice as Manchester United romped to a 4-0 victory over Real Sociedad in their Europa League last-32 first leg on Thursday, while Gareth Bale impressed for Tottenham in a 4-1 thrashing of Austrian side Wolfsberg. United started slowly in the first 10 minutes but began to grow into the game, with Marcus Rashford wasting two excellent chances. United continued to play at a pace Sociedad could not deal with and Rashford finally got his goal in the 65th minute following a blistering counter-attack started by goalkeeper Dean Henderson. Mourinho has never lost a knockout tie in the competition, which he won with Porto in 2003 and Man United in 2017. Dinamo Zagreb edged out Krasnodar 3-2 in Russia and Edin Dzeko's early goal helped Roma to a 2-0 win at 10-man Braga.
