Manchester United suffered a 3-2 defeat to Roma but yet prevailed to the finals of the Europa League after an 8-5 aggregate win.
Cavani scored two goals for United to help them seal the spot. Roma scored three but it was not enough as their fate was already decided in the first leg. United players were great in the assault but were not too good in their defense.
Let’s see how every player fared during the match:

An extraordinary triple recovery in the first half and a superb save off Mancini was the pick of the pack. Similarly as significant after the break when United hit to fall to pieces for a brief period.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka- 5
Didn’t had much to do, and his crosses were not up to the mark. Defended well but didn’t have much impact on the flanks.
Harry Maguire- 5
Made some significant clearances however battled to control the disarray after stopping for a moment.
Eric Bailly- 4
Erratic now and again and played like a man who hasn’t been included since March. Made some errors as well but it didn’t matter in the end.
Luke Shaw- 6
Made mistake from the get-go, yet his awesome flick nearly set United away for their second before half-time replacement.
Fred- 6
Uncommon help for Cavani in the brilliant first-period. Turbulent second-half however was probably going to get the consequences.
Paul Pogba- 7
Class shone throughout the period where he directed rhythm and will be essential in the last four.
Donny van Beek- 6
Recognizable impressions and sharp development however nothing definitive from left on initial start since March.
Bruno Fernandes- 8

Satisfaction to watch when engaged with a flawless interchange with Pogba and Fred. Set the Brazilian away before Cavani struck and afterward helped the Uruguayan splendidly.
Greenwood- 6
Nearly scored before the break yet didn’t compromise as much as common from the right.
Edinson Cavani- 9
Edinson Cavani has averaged a goal every 131 minutes this season, the best rate of any Manchester United player.
What an addition to the team. 🤩 pic.twitter.com/iPFEsso6CW

Really world-class striker who United will miss incredibly on the off chance that he doesn’t broaden his stay. Flawless for the two good goals in another superb forward presentation.
Substitutes:
Alex Telles- 3
Scored an own goal that in some way or another wasn’t precluded for offside. Protectively horrendous and just featured Shaw’s significance.
Brandon Williams- 4
Second-half appearance demonstrative of a youthful player so short on minutes.
Marcus Rashford
