PREMIER - Ronaldo pivots United to UCL knockouts round with late strike

Manchester United advanced to the Champions League knockout round as Cristiano Ronaldo scored another important goal late on Tuesday.

In the 78th minute, Ronaldo's silky volley after a broken play broke the deadlock, and Jadon Sancho finally scored his first goal for United with a powerful drive that ricocheted off the crossbar in the 90th minute.

United secured at least second place in Group F and a place in the round of 16 thanks to the goals.

The victory was also Michael Carrick's first match as temporary manager. Carrick is acting as a caretaker manager as the club looks for a permanent replacement for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who stepped down on Sunday after a humiliating 4-1 loss to Watford.
