Manchester United came from behind to beat Barcelona 2-1 on the night and 4-3 on aggregate to win their Europa League play-off at Old Trafford. Robert Lewandowski\u2019s early penalty had left Erik ten Hag\u2019s team with work to do but his half-time change turned the game with second-half goals from Fred and substitute Antony enough to take United through to the round of 16 at the expense of Xavi\u2019s Barca.<\/p>\n<p>Robert Lewandowski put the visitors ahead from the spot on 18 minutes after Bruno Fernandes was adjudged to have fouled Franck Kessie in the area. After a lacklustre first 45 minutes, Fred\u2019s strike put United level two minutes after the break. Then, Antony made a statement return from injury by bending in the winner on 73 minutes to hand United a historic win. United are the only club in all of Europe\u2019s top five leagues to still be in four competitions ahead of Sunday\u2019s Carabao Cup final on Sunday.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/b774dd840e29403f9af113b7052d24b1\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Casemiro made 14 ball recoveries, more than any player on the pitch, and made 13 passes into the final third as he drove United on. The midfielder shared an image with his family from earlier in the day, after the full time whistle. He wrote: \u201cI had a wonderful birthday!! Thanks to my family!! Thanks Old Trafford and @manchesterunited !! And thank you for all the birthday wishes!!\u201d The midfielder\u2019s message drew responses from several of his Manchester United teammates, plus his former Brazil and Real Madrid colleague Marcelo. Marcelo responded with eye-heart emojis, expressing his admiration for the Red Devils\u2019 midfielder.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/5f3a143ecd4244d68a43d08ee1191d35\"\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>SOURCE: United In Focus <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: RSport (via  Opera<br \/>News )<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p class=\"copyright hide\">\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
