Henrikh Mkhitaryan on the scoresheet as Manchester United are through to the Round of 32 in Europa League

Henrikh Mkhitaryan proved his worth, again, this time on a chilly night in Ukraine.

It was a cold performance from Manchester United against a mediocre opponents in the first half as there was no change on the scoreboard.

Manchester United just needed a draw to seal their qualification to the next round, but a win was must for them given the recent run of form they have had in premier league.

Too much of draws had kept the Red Devils faithfuls waiting for a win for a long time. And this was the correct opportunity to boost the moral despite not so favorable conditions.

After a stale first half, Mkhitaryan stepped up to spark some life into the United attack as he single handedly dismantled the Zorya defense, sprinting all the way from halftime into the box and a finish into the bottom right corner, to get his first goal in United colours.

It was a reminiscence of his Shakhtar Donetsk days as he continued his excellent run of form against the Ukranian clubs.
Zorya too had their chances, but they weren't incisive enough to get past Sergio Romero.

United took the 2-0 lead and put the game to bed in the ending minutes with a goal from inevitable Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who beat the offside trap to reach Paul Pogba through ball and without any hesitance put the ball onto the back of the net in one on one situation.

Manchester United fans enjoyed the game from the stands as they traveled 1500 miles to watch their team.
