Man United Cruises Past PAOK with 2-0 Victory in Europa League

Manchester United secured a comfortable 2-0 victory over PAOK Salonika in the first leg of their Europa League Round of 16 tie at Old Trafford. Goals from Anthony Martial and Scott McTominay proved enough for the Red Devils to take a commanding lead into the second leg in Greece.

Dominant Display from United

From the outset, United dominated possession and created numerous chances. Their attacking prowess was evident, with Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard causing havoc down the flanks.

Martial opened the scoring in the 32nd minute with a precise finish after a clever cutback from Ashley Young. The Frenchman's goal provided the perfect platform for United to control the game.

The second half continued in similar fashion with United dictating the tempo. McTominay added a second goal in the 74th minute with a powerful header from a Paul Pogba corner kick.

PAOK Struggles to Create Opportunities

Despite the home side's dominance, PAOK did have some promising moments. They were unable to break through United's well-organized defense, however, and ultimately failed to trouble David de Gea in goal.

The Greek champions will need a monumental performance in the second leg to overturn the deficit.

Looking Ahead

The 2-0 win puts United in a strong position to advance to the next round. The Red Devils will be looking to build on this victory and secure their place in the quarter-finals with a solid performance in Greece.

This victory is a testament to United's strength and resilience. With a crucial Premier League game against Arsenal next week, the Red Devils will be hoping to carry this momentum into the remainder of the season.
