Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes both scored twice, while Alejandro Garnacho also got on the scoresheet.

Van Nistelrooy, talking to Sky Sports, said: “I have to say we had some luck as well.

“I am so happy for Casemiro though and [Alejandro] Garnacho and Bruno [Fernandes].

“Five goals but the chances against West Ham and Fenerbahce, we created so much and couldn’t finish.”

United will now face Tottenham Hotspur in the quarter-final of the competition.
