Iran Press/ Europe: The Red Devils arrived in Rome sporting a handsome 6-2 first-leg lead but the hosts nearly reduced arrears early on when Gianluca Mancini was denied by David de Gea and Henrikh Mkhitaryan headed into the side-netting.
Any question of a comeback, though, was answered by Edinson Cavani. Having earlier clipped the bar, the United forward was sent through by Fred and rifled his finish past Antonio Mirante.
Roma showed their spirit when Edin Dzeko headed an equalizer and Bryan Cristante thumped in a second, but Cavani clinically dispatched another header to make it 2-2. A late Alex Telles own goal, at least, gave Paulo Fonseca's men the victory they deserved on the night.
