Manchester United have one foot in the Champions League group stages after recovering from going a goal behind to beat Club Brugge 3-1 in their play-off tie tonight at Old Trafford.

A superb individual performance from summer signing, Memphis, helped United to take control of the tie at the first-leg.

An own-goal from Michael Carrick after just eight minutes gave the Belgian side a shock early lead.

The Dutch winger then turned provider in the dying seconds when his in-swinging cross was headed home by Marouane Fellaini.
