That's all from Old Trafford
Where it's been a rare red letter day for Manchester United and Ruben Amorim.
And once again both were grateful to Bruno Fernandes for leading the charge.
The captain hit a hat-trick as the Red Devils dispatched Real Sociedad in the Last 16 of the Europa League to set up a quarter-final clash with Lyon.
It was arguably United's best showing since Amorim took charge, and an indication of what may yet lie ahead if the club can start to get things right. Watch this space.
Goodnight.
Dorgu: We played our own game
Another standout star of Manchester United's four-goal display was Patrick Dorgu.
The Dane was a constant threat on the left, and was responsible for winning a penalty as well as the foul that led to Real Sociedad's red card.
It is perhaps no surprise that both he and Ayden Heaven - two winter signings - were so pivotal to the best attacking performance of Ruben Amorim's reign.
It was a really good win and we dominated from the first minute. They got an early penalty but after that we responded well and played well. The key was to control the game with the ball and be patient, not to overthink too much and just to play our game.

Amorim: Bruno deserves titles
Ruben Amorim paid tribute to Bruno Fernandes - and then declared that his captain should be regularly winning leagues and cups.
The Portuguese ace played another starring role as Manchester United saw off Real Sociedad in the Europa League, although the Red Devils boss also admitted that his compatriot can be guilty of doing too much.
Sometimes he wants to win too much. It's not a bad thing, but sometimes he goes around in different positions and shows frustration. He can play set-pieces, he can score penalties under pressure, and make transitions late in games. We need to help him win titles because he deserves it.

From Martin Blackburn at Old Trafford
A great night for Ruben Amorim and his Portuguese men of four.
Diogo Dalot got on the scoresheet late on but it was all about Bruno Fernandes who claimed the match-ball and led by example all night.
Amid all the slashing of costs and job cuts at United they may have to find a way to give Fernandes a pay rise.
Time and time again he comes to their rescue and it is thanks to him that they will be in quarter finals next month – with the dream of Champions League football next season still alive.
Tonight's Europa League ties
It's been a good night for both English sides in the Europa League with Tottenham also progressing after fighting back to eliminate AZ Alkmaar.
But Rangers have a scrap on their hands after seeing their two-goal advantage wiped out by Fenerbache at Ibrox, where they are now into extra-time.

Rangers 0-2 Fenerbahce (Agg: 3-3) EXTRA TIME BEING PLAYED
Tottenham 3-1 AZ Alkmaar (Agg: 3-2) FT
Man Utd 4-1 Real Sociedad (Agg: 5-2)
They may have been helped by two penalties and a red card, but four-goal victories and successful European nights are what many in this stadium were brought up on.
Man Utd 4-1 Real Sociedad (Agg: 5-2)
United are ending this one with a flourish, and suddenly these players - beleaguered for so long - are playing with a real confidence.
They're queuing up to score too, and when Rasmus Hojlund does well to work the ball back in from the byline, Dalot arrives to sidefoot into the roof the net.
Man Utd 3-1 Real Sociedad (Agg: 4-2)
Not disheartened by missing out on the opportunity to net a hat-trick of penalties, the Manchester United captain simply rises to the fore on the next attack.
Taking advantage of the extra man, Fernandes overlaps on the right to receive Alejandro Garnacho's measured pass, and promptly whips his shot low past Alex Remiro and into the bottom corner.
It's a second Manchester United treble for the Portuguese ace, and his first for three-and-a-half years.

It's the lively Dorgu who is sent sprawling again, this time by the sliding challenge of Traore.
The Real Sociedad player can't believe it, and I'm not sure Dorgu can either as he appears to tell the referee 'no penalty'.
It prompts a VAR check in which the referee is informed that the defender won the ball first before the United man was sent to ground.

Bruno Fernandes is pulling strings, and it's he who sets off Noussair Mazraoui for some brilliance on the right flank.
A nutmeg and a measured cross puts a chance on a plate for Joshua Zirkzee, who heads despairingly wide.

Bruno Fernandes was the coolest man on the park – slotting home his second spot-kick of the night just after half time.
Where would United be without their skipper and talisman? More than likely going out of the Europa League.
Sociedad going down to 10-men following Aramburu’s red card means the quarter finals beckon for Amorim’s men.

Garnacho finds room on the right flank, but makes a mess of his cross with plenty of options available.
It's an easy clearance for the the defender, except he instead takes such a heavy touch that it allows Hojlund to take over.
The striker has time and room to weigh up his finish yet takes advantage of neither, scuffing a wayward shot straight at an opponent.
