Former Manchester United defender David May was full of praise for the side in the wake of Thursday night's Europa League win.

The Red Devils defeated Zorya 2-0 in Odessa to move through to the Round of 32 in Europe's second tier club competition.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan scored a lovely goal early in the second half to open the scoring while goalkeeper Sergio Romero and returning centre-back Eric Bailly were key in keeping a clean sheet.

"Couple of decent saves from Romero, and I thought Eric Bailly was outstanding," May said on MUTV.

"And Mkhitaryan getting the goal was brilliant."

Zlatan Ibrahimovic added a second at the death as Jose Mourinho's men comfortably accounted for the Ukrainian side on a very cold night on an icy pitch at the Chornomorets Stadium.
