Twitter Reacts to Manchester United easing their way to the Europa League quarterfinals... and Marcos Rojo eating a banana

This happened during the match... no... seriously. 

Manchester United eased through to the quarters of the UEFA Europa League with a relatively run-of-the-mill win over Rostov FC thanks to a Juan Mata goal – a tap-in that was assisted by a sumptuous Zlatan backheel –

17 - Zlatan Ibrahimovic has provided 17 assists in European competition since Aug 2011; only Cristiano Ronaldo (20) has provided more. Flick

Paul Pogba’s injury, though, is a major cause for concern for Mourinho and United

Pogba walks sadly down the tunnel. Jesse Lingard is already running him a bath. He's got a big bottle of Radox and everything.

Not surprised Pogba has gone off with a muscle injury since he plays about 400 minutes of football every week.

Ander Herrera, though, was dominant – he’ll be missed in the PL!

The highlight of the match, was the banana that Marcos Rojo decided to have mid-match. A moment of genuine hilarity!

There hasn't been much pressure on the @ManUtd goal, why not have a snack #UEL pic.twitter.com/WBsJl5sQ6n

MARCUS ROJO DOES WHAT HE WANTS

BE IT BREAKING LEGS OR EATING BANANA

Marcos Rojo has been handed a banana to eat. Phil Jones has seen this and asked the bench if he can have a Curly Wurly and a comic.

LVG would have passed the banana to Zlatan instruct him to pass it on to Herrera who would throw it back to Smalling to pass it back to Rojo

Jones been given an inhaler, Rojo been given a banana. Just waiting for Zlatan to be given a glass of champagne and a cigar.

Sir Alex has won and seen everything and the last thing he'll ever expect is a player eating a fucking banana mid game.

We know, but it’s so funny!

Why are the media making such a big deal of a player having a banana!!!! Doh!!!!!!! Use your brain talk football @btsport #energyrequired

Meanwhile, Zlatan still had his moments... as did, erm,  Fellaini

The Europa League:

Rojo eating a banana, Fellaini performing Zidane-esque skills and Phil Jones playing as a winger.

This is so true!

Highlights

1. Banana
2. Mata goal
3. Mata having to reach up to the heavens to high five Zlatan
