Fellaini scores United’s goal

Manchester United moved a step closer to a first Europa League triumph – and a Champions League return – by creeping past Celta Vigo to reach the final.

Leading 1-0 from the first leg, United took control as Marouane Fellaini headed home Marcus Rashford’s cross.

But Celta, needing two goals, levelled on the night through Facundo Roncaglia to set up a nervy finish.
