TNT SPORTS EXPERTS REACT TO MAN UNITED'S COMEBACK VICTORY
Owen Hargreaves:"A massive win It was almost a must-win game. There was massive pressure... There were still some mistakes in there with the mix-up with de Ligt and Onana, but a really good response from the team. It wasn't vintage but the second half was much better. Amorim made some subs and it had a big impact on the game."
Karen Carney: "It is literally about the substitutes (changing the game), but I also think the game was more stretched and it kind of helped United. Just look at the stats. In the first half they (United) had three shots and in the second half they had 14, so there was a big difference."

HOJLUND THE HERO AS MAN UTD COME FROM BEHIND TO BEAT PLZEN
Super sub Rasmus Hojlund struck twice to spare goalkeeper Andre Onana’s blushes as Manchester United came from behind to secure a 2-1 victory at Viktoria Plzen in the UEFA Europa League.
The Red Devils bossed possession but initially struggled to create much of note with Bruno Fernandes seeing a 25-yard drive well saved in what was otherwise a dour first half.
The match then exploded into life on 48 minutes when Onana’s wayward pass inside his own area allowed the hosts to take advantage with former Watford and Burnley forward Matej Vydra firing into an empty net.
Ruben Amorim responded with a trio of substitutes that altered the complexion of the game and one of those changes delivered almost immediately as Hojlund touched in Amad Diallo’s deflected cross-shot on 62 minutes.
The away side dominated from that moment on and deservedly took the points when Hojlund rifled in Fernandes’ disguised free kick two minutes from time.
 The result means United have now won three of their six matches in the competition and are within reach of finishing in the top eight of the league phase.
Next up, Manchester United visit neighbours and reigning Premier League champions, Manchester City in the English top-flight on Sunday afternoon.
