"Man Utd" club kept hope of reaching the next stage of the Europa League, and team coach Jose Mourinho rubbed his hands with joy.
Yesterday, the "Red Devils" smashed Rotterdam's "Feyenoord" team 4-0 at home and in the final group stage will be masters of their own fate.
After the match, the English team's strategist highlighted the record-breaking forward Wayne Rooney.
"This is an incredible achievement. The forward's performance was equal to the whole team - we had set a direction and after scoring the first goal, we didn't stop attacking the opponent's goal," Mourinho rejoiced.
"It will be even better if Rooney helps the team win Europa League trophies, as 'Man Utd' does not have any trophies of that name."
"I know it's not the highest level tournament, but it's worth a try."
