Life without Wayne Rooney continues to go swimmingly for Manchester 部隊d. Five games played since their captain last appeared. Five 勝利,勝つs, 11 goals 得点する/非難する/20d, one 譲歩するd.
The 最新の victory 確認するd 部隊d’s 進歩 to the last 16 of the Europa League at a boisterous Stade Geoffroy-Guichard on Wednesday night as Jose Mourinho’s 味方する built on a 命令(する)ing three-goal lead from the first 脚 to 安全な・保証する a comfortable passage into Friday’s draw in Nyon.
It (機の)カム at a cost after Eric Bailly was sent off just after the hour 示す for 選ぶing up two yellow cards in the space of three minutes, and goalscorer Henrikh Mkhitaryan was 軍隊d off 中途の through the first half clutching his 権利 hamstring after chasing a throughball.
That's not your lot for European 活動/戦闘 this evening, as attention now turns to Leicester City who return in the 支持する/優勝者s League to play Sevilla in the first 脚 of their last-16 衝突/不一致.
Click here to join me for all the 活動/戦闘 from Europe's エリート but that's all from me here.
Manchester 部隊d are of course now in the hat for the last-16 Europa League draw and joining them are Schalke and Krasnodar who saw off PAOK and Fenerbahce それぞれ.
Thanks for に引き続いて all and cheerio.

4 - Man Utd have kept four 連続する clean sheets in European 競争 for the first time since December 2013. Shutout.
FULL-TIME: Saint Etienne 0-1 Manchester 部隊d (0-4 agg)
Manchester 部隊d are through to the UEFA Europa League last-16
Zlatan Ibrahimovic (前線) of Manchester 部隊d 戦う/戦いs for the ball with Kevin Malcuit of Saint Etienne
18:48
90min: There will be three 追加するd minutes in this tie, although all the 審判(をする) is doing by 追加するing them is robbing everyone of 180 seconds of their life. Hey, time is precious these days.
18:47
87min: It's been obvious since the 16th minute when Mkhitaryan 得点する/非難する/20d that this tie was all over but the Stade Geoffroy Guichard, but only now have the 支持者s started to leave the stadium.
The home fans have been magnificent throughout - although their obsession with pyro and ゆらめくs may land the club in hot water with UEFA.
18:43
84min: Even Bastian Schweinsteiger feels he can get in on the goals this evening but the German midfielder's 成果/努力 from 25 yards is 井戸/弁護士席 wide as he 試みる/企てるd to curl the ball across goal into the 最高の,を越す corner.
18:42
83min: Vincent Pajot is the 最新の Saint Etienne to 解雇する/砲火/射撃 井戸/弁護士席 off 的 for Saint Etienne, as Malcuit is 調書をとる/予約するd for the hosts.
18:38
80min: A goal every 120 seconds, that's the challenge 直面するing Saint Etienne to stay in the Europa League.
Of course that's as good as impossible and instead it's 部隊d going の近くに to 得点する/非難する/20ing.
Ibrahimovic is clean through on goal but is 支配するd offside. The Swede is ガス/煙ing and it's 平易な to see why - he was 井戸/弁護士席 on!
Saint-Etienne's Florentin Pogba (権利) and Manchester 部隊d's Paul Pogba 争う for the ballThe Pogba brothers contest a header during the second half at the Stade Geoffroy GuichardThe Pogba brothers look as Manchester 部隊d 巡航するd に向かって an aggregate victory
18:36
77min: Another man who wants a goal this evening is Ibrahimovic, but after 存在 played in by Pogba he 攻撃するs wildly wide. In England he would get 'wahey' 詠唱するs, in フラン he is 簡単に booed.
18:34
75min: This tie is dead but the 活動/戦闘 isn't. Marcus Rashford has 設立する his 誘発する from the start of the half again, cutting in from the left before seeing a low 成果/努力 across goal 井戸/弁護士席 saved by Ruffier's foot.
18:31
72min: That's not a dreadful 成果/努力 from Florentin Pogba who on the ボレー from just outside the box fails to find the 的.
It rather sums up Saint Etienne tonight though who 約束d plenty of bite but have been utterly toothless.
18:27
Saint Etienne substitution
69min: Saint Etienne need a goal every four minutes now as they make their final change. Fabien Lemoine 取って代わるs Jordan Veretout.
Eric Bailly of Manchester 部隊d shows a look of 失望/欲求不満 as he is shown a red card by 審判(をする) Deniz Aytekin
18:26
67min: The two Pogbas 戦う/戦い for a header, with Paul coming out on 最高の,を越す on this occasion as Saint Etienne 準備する a final switch.
18:22
Manchester 部隊d substitution
64min: Don't forget Saint Etienne still need five goals in under half-an-hour so to keep a solid 防御の line, Mourinho sends on Marcos Rojo for Juan Mata.
Manchester 部隊d's Bastian Schweinsteiger comes on as a 代用品,人 to 取って代わる Michael Carrick
18:20
RED CARD: Eric Bailly (Manchester 部隊d)
63min: Not only will Bailly 行方不明になる the last-16 first 脚, he will 行方不明になる the 残り/休憩(する) of this 衝突/不一致 too as he is sent off for a second bookable offence having once again tripped Hamouma. Looks 厳しい and Jose Mourinho's angry touchline reaction 示唆するs he agrees.
18:20
Manchester 部隊d substitution
62min: A second change for Manchester 部隊d and again this may be 予定 to 傷害 as Bastian Schweinsteoger 取って代わるs Michael Carrick.
18:19
60min: Hamouma goes 負かす/撃墜する again but this time he is 正当化するd in taking a 宙返り/暴落する に引き続いて a late challenge from Eric Bailly who has been 調書をとる/予約するd. He will now 行方不明になる the first 脚 of the last-16. And yes I have pretty much assumed 部隊d will be in it.
18:17
Saint Etienne substitution
59min: Paul Pogba 演習s a low 成果/努力 straight at Ruffier as the hosts make a second change. Nolan Roux 取って代わるing Robert Peric.
18:16
58min: Marouane Fellaini finds the 逮捕する for Manchester 部隊d... but it's the outside of it at the 近づく 地位,任命する and it leaves Zlatan Ibrahimovic ガス/煙ing inside the box who was 利用できる for a 削減(する)-支援する and an easier finish.
18:14
56min: Romain Hamouma 勝利,勝つs a very fortunate 解放する/自由な-kick out of Paul Pogba 25 yards out but 司法(官) is done for Manchester 部隊d.
The 今後 strikes the 解放する/自由な-kick, but slips on his standing foot resulting in him scuffing the ball wide.
18:11
Saint Etienne substitution
54min: First change for Saint Etienne as Henri Saivet 出発/死s to be 取って代わるd by Jorginho.
Manchester 部隊d's Paul Pogba (権利) 支配(する)/統制するs the ball while Saint Etienne's Jordan Veretout looks on
18:10
53min: Just call him the Running Man. Again Rashford escapes on the left but this time after cutting into the box he takes the ball too far as Stephane Ruffier steals the ball from his feet.
18:09
52min: The 焦点(を合わせる) is still there for 部隊d as a 約束ing attack develops on the left through Marcus Rashford. The 今後 canters into the box but he is met by a 井戸/弁護士席 timed challenge from Kevin Malcuit.
18:05
From OptaJoe
25 - Man Utd have 得点する/非難する/20d in all but one of their last 26 games in all 競争s (0-0 v 船体 on February 1st). Entertainment.
SECOND HALF: Play 再開するs - no changes from either 味方する
価値(がある) 公式文書,認めるing the evening's other Europa League 関係 are 1-1 between Schalke and PAOL Salonika 同様に Fenerbahce and Krasnodar.

18:03
Here are a 選択 of first half stats from the Stade Geoffroy Guichard
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has a decent goal 得点する/非難する/20ing 記録,記録的な/記録する against Saint Etienne, and he has been booed by the home fans every time he has touched the ball.
That's not been too often though and it's certainly not been in the Saint Etienne 刑罰,罰則 box.
About as の近くに to a perfect first half as Manchester 部隊d could wish for
The only 推論する/理由 it isn't perfect is because of Mkhitaryan's 傷害, which could 支配する him out of the EFL Cup final.
The Armenian's strike has 手渡すd Manchester 部隊d a 決定的な away goal though that leaves Saint Etienne needing five in the second half to 妨げる the Red Devils from marching into last-16.
17:47
HALF-TIME: Saint Etienne 0-1 Manchester 部隊d (agg 0-4)
Manchester 部隊d's Eric Bailly (centre) and Sergio Romero 試みる/企てる to 略奪する St Etienne's Kevin Monnet-Paquet of the ball
17:46
45min: As Romain Hamouma is 査定する/(税金などを)課すd for a minor 長,率いる 傷害 に引き続いて a 絡まる with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the fourth 公式の/役人 明らかにする/漏らすs there will be one 追加するd minute.
17:44
42min: By far Saint Etienne's most dangerous attack. Kevin Monnet-Paquet races into the box, but にもかかわらず taking the ball past Romero he is kept under watch by Eric Bailly who すぐに ribs him of the ball before (疑いを)晴らすing.
17:40
39min: Finally Romero is called into 活動/戦闘, and he probably should have been made to do more here. A 解放する/自由な-kick swung into the Manchester 部隊d box is nodded に向かって goal by the unmarked Perrin, but he can only 長,率いる straight at the Argentine.
Saint Etienne fans light ゆらめくs during their 味方する's 衝突/不一致 with Manchester 部隊d
17:38
36min: The last five minutes or so have seen Saint Etienne enjoy some 所有/入手 on the ball but they can't even 軍隊 a 発射 at Sergio Romero's goal, let alone 得る,とらえる one of the five goals they need.
A young Saint Etienne fan looks on as his 味方する 追跡する Manchester 部隊d 4-0 on aggregate
17:35
33min: A little better from the hosts who will now have to 記録,記録的な/記録する one of the 広大な/多数の/重要な European 復帰s to stay in the Europa League. A 約束ing build up in play results in the ball 落ちるing for Jordan Veretout whose 発射 is 井戸/弁護士席 封鎖するd by the Manchester 部隊d defence.
17:32
31min: 部隊d go の近くに to a second goal they would be excellent value for. Zlatan Ibrahimovic plays Ashley Young in on the 権利 overlap, but his low cross along the 直面する of the six-yard box is too far in 前線 of Marcus Rashford.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan of Manchester Utd leaves play 負傷させるd to be 取って代わるd by Marcus Rashford
17:31
28min: Saint Etienne have been 匿名の/不明の on the pitch but 十分な credit to their 支持者s who even after 譲歩するing have remained a very 声の bunch, as they continue to 生成する most of the atmosphere inside the ground. It's still all 部隊d.
17:28
Manchester 部隊d substitution
25min: Mind you it's not all going 部隊d's way. Henrikh Mkhitaryan has trudged off 負傷させるd, and although it looks more like a 警戒 the sight of the Armenian 持つ/拘留するing his hamstring as he is 取って代わるd by Marcus Rashford is a 関心ing one ahead of this 週末's EFL Cup final.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan of Manchester 部隊d goes off 負傷させるd 持つ/拘留するing his hamstring
17:26
22min: Mata is 原因(となる)ing 大虐殺 over on the left. It's another cross に向かって the 近づく 地位,任命する from the Spaniard and it nearly results in a bizarre own goal. Loic Perrin's 試みる/企てるd 通関手続き/一掃 bouncing off a defender に向かって goal, 軍隊ing Stephane Ruffier to claw the ball away in the Saint Etienne goal.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan of Manchester 部隊d 得点する/非難する/20s the 開始 goal against Saint EtienneMkhitaryan is congratulated on 開始 the 得点する/非難する/20ing by his team-mates
17:21
From OptaJoe
5 - Henrikh Mkhitaryan has been 伴う/関わるd in 5 goals in his last 6 games for Man Utd in all 競争s (3 goals, 2 補助装置s). 計画/陰謀d.
19min: So where does that leave the tie now? 井戸/弁護士席 extra-time and 刑罰,罰則s is now 100 per cent 支配するd out に引き続いて 部隊d's away goal, meaning if Saint Etienne have to now 得点する/非難する/20 at least FIVE goals to 捨てる out Jose Mourinho's 味方する..
17:16
GOAL! Saint Etienne 0-1 MANCHESTER UNITED (agg 0-4)
16min: Just over a 4半期/4分の1 of an hour and this tie now looks all over! Juan Mata whips in a superb ball from the left and it 許すs Henrikh Mkhitaryan to attack the cross by flicking the ball home across goal.
11min: It takes a group of experienced players to keep the 権利 でっちあげる,人を罪に陥れる of 地雷 for a 3-0 first 脚 lead, but having a 経営者/支配人 who is a master at seeing out games does help too.
Both are in 豊富 so far as not only do 部隊d 支配(する)/統制する the game, they are 圧力(をかける)ing for an 開始 goal as a dangerous Paul Pogba cross is 削減(する) out.

17:04
From Sportsmail's Joe Bernstein at the Stade Geoffroy Guichard
'From kick off it's (疑いを)晴らす Marouane Fellaini is playing No 10 for 部隊d. So Rooney is now fourth choice for that position behind Pogba, Mata, Mkhitaryan and now the big-haired ベルギー.'

'Jose Mourinho has said that it should be ‘使節団 impossible’ for the French 味方する to overturn a 3-0 赤字 from the first 脚, but you wonder what might happen if they can snatch an 早期に goal here.
'Saint Etienne certainly showed enough attacking 脅し at Old Trafford to 示唆する they will 提起する/ポーズをとる problems.
