Late header gives Red Devils comfortable lead

MAROUANE FELLAINI’S last-gasp header has given Manchester United breathing space in their Champions League playoff as the Red Devils grabbed a 3-1 first-leg lead against Club Brugge at Old Trafford.

Michael Carrick’s own goal put the hosts in trouble early on before Memphis Depay’s double eased United’s nerves.

Fellaini’s late show should make sure Louis van Gaal’s side are playing in the Champions League group stage this season.

United are 1-100 with Hills to qualify with Club Brugge, who had Brandon Mechele sent off on 80 minutes, available to back at 16-1.

However, Coral are less convinced with United at 1-16 and the outsiders are only 8-1.
