Man Utd Crushes PAOK in Dominant Europa League Display

Man United absolutely smashed PAOK in their Europa League Round of 16 first leg clash, putting on a real show for the Old Trafford faithful. The Red Devils dominated from start to finish, securing a comfortable 3-0 win thanks to goals from Anthony Martial, Scott McTominay, and Fred.

It was a night where United truly looked like a team on a mission. They were relentless in their pursuit of goals and never let PAOK settle into the game.

Dominant First Half Performance

The home side came out of the blocks flying, with Martial opening the scoring in the 18th minute after a brilliant run from Marcus Rashford. The French forward’s goal was just a taste of what was to come.

McTominay added a second just before half-time, finishing off a slick team move with a confident strike. The midfielder’s goal was a testament to United’s dominance in midfield, where they completely outplayed PAOK.

United in Full Control

The second half saw United continue their dominance. They were creating chances at will, and the third goal arrived on the hour mark. Fred, who was causing havoc all night, finished off a well-worked move with a clinical finish.

PAOK, to their credit, tried to find a way back into the game, but United's defense was rock solid, frustrating any attempts at a comeback.

A Statement of Intent

This performance was a clear statement of intent from Manchester United. They showed they are not only aiming to win the Europa League, but they are also in fine form domestically. The team looks confident, hungry, and most importantly, they are playing with an intensity that has been missing in recent years.

This result puts United in a fantastic position to progress to the quarter-finals. They’ll be looking to finish the job in Greece next week.
