Amorim's United feels like a pencil sketch of a grander planned work - there are signs of progress but huge improvements are needed

Man United are into the last 16 of the Europa League after a 2-0 win against FCSB in Bucharest, with Kobbie Mainoo outstanding in a new role.

Marcus Rashford must change in order to return to action for Manchester United, coach Ruben Amorim said on Wednesday ahead of their final Europa League league phase match against Romanian side Steaua Bucharest.

Manchester United have reached a broad agreement with Lecce for the transfer of Patrick Dorgu for €30million (£25.2m) plus €5m (£4.2m) in add-ons. The Serie A side had been holding out for €40m (£33.6m) but negotiations have brought the figure to below United’s aim of a total £30m package with the add-ons a split of both simple bonuses and others that are more difficult to achieve.

Manchester United are closing in on the signing of Lecce defender Patrick Dorgu in a deal worth £29.4million, with the left-back set to become Ruben Amorim's first signing

Fourth-placed Man United head to Bucharest on Thursday to take on eighth-paced FCSB, with both sides needing a win to seal automatic qualification for the UEFA Europa League's last 16. Man United claimed a last-gasp win in their "Battle of Britain" clash with Scottish team Rangers last week at Old Trafford to edge Ruben Amorim's side closer to the tournament's knockout stages.

FCSB start the night in eighth - the final spot to qualify automatically for the last 16 - so they too need a victory as there are as many as seven teams hoping they slip up. It promises to be another dramatic night of European football as the first phase of the new-look Europa League format draws to a close.
