Man United fell to a 3-2 defeat in the second leg but their first leg advantage was too much for Roma to overcome.
Given the significant deficit they had to overcome, Roma had to come out and give it a go and they did just that. David De Gea was forced into a couple of great saves before Edinson Cavani gave Man United the lead on the night.
Fred played in the forward who fired it past Roma’s Antonio Mirante from around 20-yards out.
OPINION: Should Man Utd stick or twist on a mediocre midfield hand?
Roma netted twice inside three minutes in the second half to go 2-1 up. Edin Dzeko headed in from close range to make it 1-1 in the 57th minute. Bryan Cristante got another back as he found the bottom corner past De Gea from the edge of the area.
Later in the second half, Cavani scored his second goal of the game to make it 2-2 on the night. Roma’s lead on the night was restored though Nicola Zalewski.
That was how it finished as the Red Devils win 8-5 on aggregate to book their place in the Europa League final.
