5 stats from Man Utd 4-1 Istanbul

Manchester United stormed into a 3-0 lead 10 minutes before half-time before running out 4-1 winners over Istanbul Basaksehir.

This comes after their disappointing 1-2 loss away to the Turkish champions three weeks ago and leaves Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side needing just one point from their final two games to reach the knockout stages of the 2020-21 Champions League.

Bruno Fernandes scored twice in the opening 20 minutes before Marcus Rashford won and converted a penalty in the 35th minute.

The visitors scored a consolation 15 minutes from time from a direct free kick before substitute Daniel James rounded off the scoring in a stoppage time counter-attack.

5 – Marcus Rashford has now scored five goals in his last four Champions League games.

13 – Istanbul Basaksehir fired in 13 efforts on Manchester United’s goal at Old Trafford.

34 – Bruno Fernandes has been involved in 34 goals in his 35 appearances for the Red Devils (21 goals, 13 assists).

90′ – Donny van de Beek played more minutes in this evening’s game alone (90′), than he has in the Premier League this season (88′).
