A second half brace from Amad Diallo handed Manchester United a 2-0 victory over PAOK FC for their first European win of the season, Afrosport reports.
The Red Devils came into the game off the back of draws against FC, Twente, FC Porto and Fenerbahce.
It seemed it was going to be another cagey European affair at Old Trafford after the first half ended goalless.
Ivory Coast International, Amad, who was returning to the starting XI since the 3-3 draw with Porto, however broke the deadlock in the 50th minute with a header of a Bruno Fernandes cross.
The former Atalanta winger then outmuscled the opposition 13 minutes to the end of the game before unleashing a brilliant curling effort into the top corner of the net.

The result sees United move up to 15th on the log, three points away from the automatic qualification spot into the round of 16.
The Premier League game at home to Leicester City on Sunday will be Ruud Van Nistelrooy’s last outing as interim coach before Ruben Amorim resumes on Monday.
