Many of that squad have now departed, including manager Yuriy Vernydub, who left the club earlier this year to join Ukraine's territorial defence following February's invasion by Russia. The side are six points clear at the top of the table in their domestic league but their challenge petered out after a bright start against United, with Cedric Badolo's long range effort and well struck free-kick straight at De Gea.

Ronaldo scores first Europa goal in Man Utd winAgainst Sheriff, Cristiano Ronaldo scored the 699th club goal of his careerCristiano Ronaldo ended his barren spell with the first Europa League goal of his career as Manchester United earned victory at Sheriff Tiraspol. Erik ten Hag's men suffered defeat at Old Trafford in their Group E opener against Real Sociedad but responded by claiming all three points in Moldova. The Red Devils opened the scoring in the first half as a lovely team move was coolly finished off by Jadon Sancho from Christian Eriksen's reverse pass. Sancho, who was left out of the England squad earlier in the day, came close to a second but his low shot was brilliantly cleared off the line by Sheriff captain Stjepan Radeljic on the stretch. But United did double their advantage before half-time courtesy of Ronaldo's penalty, awarded after Patrick Kpozo tripped Diogo Dalot in the box.
