Bruno Fernandes Hat-Trick Fires Manchester United into Europa League Quarterfinals

Posted : 13 March 2025

Manchester United secured their place in the Europa League quarterfinals with a dominant 4-1 victory over Real Sociedad at Old Trafford, sealing a 5-2 aggregate win. Bruno Fernandes starred with a hat-trick, responding to Mikel Oyarzabal's early penalty by converting two spot-kicks of his own before adding a clinical finish for his third.

 

Diogo Dalot capped off the scoring on a night that offered a rare highlight in a challenging season for United under Ruben Amorim.

 

Despite their struggles in the Premier League and domestic cup exits, United showed resilience in front of a packed 74,000-strong crowd, though protests against the Glazer family continued. Sociedad had started brightly, taking the lead through Oyarzabal after Matthijs de Ligt fouled him in the box.

 

However, Fernandes quickly equalized from the spot after Rasmus Hojlund was fouled, and United took control in the second half, aided by Jon Aramburu's red card for bringing down Patrick Dorgu.

 

United's attacking duo of Joshua Zirkzee and Hojlund endured another frustrating night, missing key chances, but Fernandes’ finishing ensured Amorim’s men advanced to face Lyon in the next round.

 

 The Portuguese playmaker sealed his hat-trick late on with a composed strike from Alejandro Garnacho’s pass, while Hojlund managed an assist for Dalot’s powerful finish. Though their Premier League form remains a concern, United’s Europa League campaign now offers a crucial path to redemption.
