      Goal from Henrikh Mkhitaryan saw Jose Mourinho's men take the lead in the 10th minute.  Mkhitaryan gives United a cushion as he collects Rashford's pass on the edge of the box before rifling his strike past Ruben into the bottom corner. The Armenian now has five goals to his name in Europe this term.

       United just had to enjoy their just to 22 minutes as R. Weiler's banged in a goal to settle the tie.
   HUGE MOMENT FOR ANDERLECHT! Hanni finds the back of the net to score a crucial away goal for the Belgian outfit, hammering the ball past Romero from close range. Tielemans caused havoc in the box as his deflected strike hit the bar, while Teodorczyk did just enough to steer the ball into Hanni's path to strike with power into the net.
     United's winner came in the 107th minute with Marcus Rashford finding the back of the net. United looked a superior side but failed in stamping their superiority earlier in the game.

     So, it ended at Old Trafford, Manchester united 2:1 Anderlecht; and 3:2 on aggregate.

     Like they say; after the wedding comes marriage. Trust me you don't be broke after the wedding.      A lot of folks prefer to spend so much on their weddings claiming that ''it's once in a life thing''. But in as much as we want it to be memorable do we have to break the bank to do so? C'mon!!!    Weddings aren't cheap — even if you're not the one getting married.

Multiply that by an average three weddings per year, and celebrating  other people's marriages  is no small expense. A big contributor: One in five weddings is a "destination wedding" somewhere other than the couple's home,  per  The Knot. Those trav
