Bruno Fernandes and Edinson Cavani both netted a brace as Manchester United fought back to thrash AS Roma in their Europa League semi-final first-leg tie.


Fernandes gave United the lead when he slotted home Cavani's first-time pass.

Roma captain Lorenzo Pellegrini equalised for the visitors from the penalty spot after a Paul pogo handball.

Pellegrini then assisted former Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko gave the Italian side the lead just before half time with his sixth goal in five matches at Old Trafford.

But United came out all gun blazing after the break.

Cavani equalised with a brilliant strike before scoring an easy tap-in to put the Red Devils back in the lead when substitute goalkeeper Antonio Mirante pushed Aaron Wan-Bissaka's effort towards him.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men took advantage as they found momentum in the match, even though it was a lucky penalty for a soft Chris Smalling tackle on Cavani that gave Fernandes the chance to make it 4-2 from the spot.

Pogba scored the fifth with a header from Fernandes' cross before Greenwood scored United's sixth after a pass from Cavani.

Manchester United became the first side to score six goals in a major European semi-final since Real Madrid in the 1964 European Cup.
