History was made on Thursday as Ruben Amorim joined Manchester United's two greatest ever managers in the record books.

Amorim's United recovered from a late setback to beat Rangers 2-1 in the Europa League, with Bruno Fernandes netting an injury-time winner. Fernandes' goal came just four minutes after an error from Harry Maguire allowed Cyriel Dessers to equalise for Rangers.

The result moved United up into fourth place in the Europa League table, putting them on the cusp of qualifying for the knockout phase without needing the play-offs. It was also a much-needed result for Amorim, who'd labelled his side 'maybe the worst in United's history' after they sunk to a 3-1 loss at home to Brighton on Sunday and remained 13th in the Premier League.

But it's not only the three points which will please the Red Devils boss.

In beating Rangers, Amorim joined predecessors Sir Alex Ferguson and Sir Matt Busby in winning his first three games in a major European competition as United manager. Busby achieved the feat in 1956 Ferguson so did in 1990.

The Red Devils were on course for victory after Rangers goalkeeper Jack Butland punched the ball into his own net early in the second half. United had numerous chances to double their lead but wasted them, allowing Dessers to draw the visitors level in the dying embers.

Rangers' 3,768 travelling supporters - and plenty who'd snuck into the home sections - went mad. But they were quickly bought back down to Earth when Fernandes produced an ice-cool finish from an inviting Lisandro Martinez cross.

"It is hard to deal because we didn't deserve the draw at the moment," Amorim admitted. "I think it was fair to say we deserved to win the game. We already knew it is tough in this moment and we start well. The pace of the game helped us because it is different and you can feel it.

"We tried to do things and we were better with the ball. We controlled well in the beginning and then we lost control for seven minutes because some of our passes in transition. We created the best chances and we deserved to win."

United are back in Premier League action at Fulham on Sunday.
