The Greek side, no slouches themselves, are coming to Old Trafford with a game plan to upset the Red Devils. Let's dive into the action!

First Half:

Kickoff! United come out of the gates hot, pressing high and looking to exploit PAOK's shaky defense. Rashford, always a threat, goes on a blistering run down the left wing but his cross is just out of reach of Martial. The Red Devils are dominating possession and creating chances, but PAOK are holding firm.

35 minutes and it's finally broken! Rashford cuts in from the right, beats his man with some fancy footwork, and unleashes a rocket of a shot that finds the back of the net! The Old Trafford faithful erupt in celebration! United are deservedly ahead, but PAOK will need to react quickly.

Just before halftime, PAOK almost equalizes! A long ball finds its way to the feet of a PAOK striker, but De Gea makes a brilliant save to keep his clean sheet intact. Halftime whistle blows, and United head into the break with a 1-0 lead.

Second Half:

The second half starts much like the first, with United dictating the pace. They're looking for the second goal to put the game out of reach. PAOK are trying to press higher but they're struggling to break down the United defense.

65 minutes in and another chance for Rashford! He receives a pass from Pogba, cuts inside, and unleashes a powerful strike that forces the PAOK goalkeeper into a fantastic save. The Red Devils are in control but need to add to their lead.

70 minutes and finally, the second goal! A cross from Shaw finds the head of Martial, who powers it home. United are in cruise control now, and the game is all but over.

Full-time! United are victorious, winning 2-0 and securing their spot in the next round of the Europa League. It was a dominant performance from the Red Devils, who looked in control throughout the match.

Man of the match: It's a tough choice, but Rashford deserves a lot of credit for his pace, skill, and goal. Pogba also deserves a shoutout for his masterful performance in midfield.
