Manchester United maintained their 100 per cent record in this season’s Champions League.
Manchester United made it four wins from four in the Champions League group stage as they overcame Benfica 2-0 at Old Trafford on Tuesday evening.
An own-goal from Mile Svilar and a penalty from Daley Blind ensured United maintained their 100 per cent record, and a single point from their final two matches will secure safe passage into the knockout stages.
United manager Jose Mourinho made plenty of changes on the night, with Matteo Darmian coming in at right-back in place of Antonio Valencia, and the Italian international did a solid job against a decent Benfica side.
The 27-year-old has struggled for game time this season but his versatility marks him out as an important part of United’s squad and he will be hoping to feature in the club’s upcoming European games against FC Basel and CSKA Moscow.
With Valencia the undisputed first choice right-back at the club, and Ashley Young resurgent on the opposite flank, Darmian has to make to do the few chances that come his way in an important World Cup year.
