Under the guidance of interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy, United finally achieved a breakthrough in the competition, following three consecutive draws under former manager Erik ten Hag.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The opening half saw PAOK putting United under pressure, with Greek visitors creating several promising chances. However, United goalkeeper Andre Onana remained solid between the posts, notably tipping over a shot from PAOK's Mady Camara to keep the game level.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
United broke the deadlock shortly after the break when Bruno Fernandes delivered a pinpoint cross into the box. Amad rose to meet the cross with a looping header, directing the ball back across the goal and into the bottom corner, leaving PAOK\u2019s keeper with no chance. The goal was a turning point, lifting the spirits of both the team and the Old Trafford crowd.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
PAOK continued to search for an equaliser, and they came close in the 64th minute. Taril Tissoudali found himself unmarked in front of goal, but his close-range shot lacked the power needed to beat Onana, who gathered it comfortably. United remained resilient, defending their narrow lead and looking for opportunities to seal the game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Thirteen minutes from full-time, Amad delivered the final blow. After intercepting a pass from PAOK defender Baba Rahman, he held off the defender\u2019s attempts to reclaim the ball, pushed forward, and unleashed a curling strike from the edge of the box. The shot took a slight deflection, sailing past the keeper into the far corner and securing the win for United.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
