However, the Yellow Submarine suffered a heavy 3-0 loss to Celta, who are also pushing for a place in Europe, and it all started after losing a key defender to a straight red card.
And that was none other than Eric Bailly, who was sent off for a clumsy challenge after just 37 minutes,
Bailly, 31, took down Celta ace Alfonso Gonzalez with a late challenge just outside the area and the referee deemed the Spaniard was in a good position to score.
The centre-back, whom United signed from Villarreal in 2016 and had him in their books for seven years, was immediately given his marching orders and Ruben Uria Corral's side crumbled soon after.
That led to an intense reaction from fans, who stormed social media.
One fan tweeted: "Is anyone surprised?"
A third wrote: "Eric Bailly red card. I miss him man."
This fan said: "Thats Bailly's Villarreal career, his last match for the club."
And that one stated: "Unnecessary."
That was Bailly's fourth red card of his 21-year career, two of which he picked up during his time with United in the Premier League and Europa League.
The Ivory Coast international managed one goal and one assist in 113 appearances with the Red Devils where he endured a raft of injuries.

Ryan Johnson's own goal gifts Luton all three points in League One opener
Matt Bloomfield's side, who were playing in the Premier League 15 months ago, had produced barely a chance of note – against a team which at the same time were finishing 10th in the fourth tier – until the Dons defender inadvertently lifted the ball over Nathan Bishop from Nahki Wells' forward punt and in off the crossbar with five minutes left. It was the first time since 2019 Luton had played at this level and an immediate return to the Championship looked like being anything but straightforward as Johnnie Jackson's visitors, fresh from victory in the League Two play-off final, contained them with relative ease for much of the match. The opening 45 minutes saw the teams muster two shots on goal between them, both off target and one of which landed on the roof of the Oak Stand behind Wimbledon goalkeeper Bishop. Visiting defender Joe Lewis might have been lucky to escape harsher punishment when he halted a clear run on goal for Wells, receiving just a yellow card for tripping the Hatters debutant when seemingly the last man. Reuell Walters finally had Luton's first shot on target after 63 minutes, drawing an outstanding one-handed save from Bishop with a drilled half-volley from range. Wimbledon looked to have done enough to earn a point, but then came Johnson's unfortunate wayward header to gift the Hatters victory.

I'm four weeks away – Tom Lockyer reveals he is closing in on football return
Former Luton captain Tom Lockyer has revealed he is 'four weeks away' from being allowed to play football again. Lockyer has not played since suffering a cardiac arrest during Luton's Premier League game against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium in December 2023. The 30-year-old Wales defender had previously collapsed on the field just seven months earlier during the Hatters' Sky Bet Championship play-off final win at Wembley against Coventry. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sky Sports Football (@skysportsfootball) Lockyer, speaking ahead of Luton's opening Sky Bet League One fixture against AFC Wimbledon at Kenilworth Road, told Sky Sports: 'I haven't had a break, I've been working all the way through, just trying to get this ankle right and trying to get fit. 'But I've had a really good few weeks and hopefully now I'm four weeks away from getting signed off and told I'm allowed to play football again.' Luton, relegated in May for the second successive season, told Lockyer his contract would not be renewed when it expired this summer. But they have allowed him to use their facilities and work with their physios and medical staff during his rehabilitation. The former Bristol Rovers centre-back, who led Luton to Premier League promotion in 2023, added: 'They've been fantastic and have allowed me to come in and use the facilities and the knowledge of all the physios, so I can't thank them enough for that. 'It allows me to stay among the team spirit – there's a good one here. There's been a few changes, but they're trying to hold on to that ethos that no-one is bigger than the team and I absolutely love that. 'It's allowed me to go in every day, still be around it, still feel involved and I'm just itching to get back now.' Lockyer, who has had a defibrillator fitted similar to former Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen, snapped an ankle ligament during his return to full fitness, which required two operations.
