Manchester United, Tottenham secure Europa League victories

Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United both secured vital victories in the Europa League, providing a much-needed boost amid their Premier League struggles. United clinched a dramatic 2-1 win against Rangers with Bruno Fernandes scoring a late winner, while Spurs triumphed 3-2 against Hoffenheim thanks to two goals from Son Heung-min. These results help both teams edge closer to direct qualification for the last 16 of the tournament. United moved up to fourth place in their group, needing just a point in their final match to secure a top-eight finish, while Spurs currently sit sixth. Despite their successes in Europe, both clubs face challenges in their domestic campaigns, with Spurs having lost seven of their last nine league matches. Tottenham is also reportedly in pursuit of Lille midfielder Angel Gomes, who is believed to favor a move to Spurs over Manchester United or West Ham.
