Their opponents FCSB meanwhile, lie in eighth.
However, they’re only one point behind United in what is a very congested table with just five points separating second-placed Lazio from Union Saint-Gilloise down in 15th.
United’s last away outing in the tournament was another hard-fought win, with Rasmus Hojlund producing a rare clinical display off the bench as he bagged a brace in a 2-1 success.

Marcus Rashford latest
Amorim has taken another swipe at his want-away star. The 40-year-old insists his stand-off with the unhappy striker is ‘not personal.’
But he stresses that no matter what he will not back down after putting the 27-year-old in exile six weeks ago.
Rashford, desperate for a move to Barcelona after saying that he wanted ‘a new challenge’ hasn’t played for 11 games and wasn’t even allowed on the plane to Bucharest.
Amorim even suggested he would rather pick his 63-year-old goalkeeper coach Jorge Vital than any player who wasn’t giving everything in a pointed reference to the home-grown star.
The tough-talking Portuguese has said that Rashford has not been training well enough even for inclusion in his squad – and, he vows, the situation will stay the same until the front man proves him otherwise.
But having laid down the law again he also opened the door for Rashford to salvage his United career -but only if he shows he really wants to and toes the line.
He declared : “Look at our team and match the profile of the players.
“Imagine a talent like Rashford, our team should be so much better, but he has to change.
“If he changes, we will use a talent like Rashford, but in this moment we have to set some standards.
“We are waiting for Marcus (to see) if he wants it really bad.
“I have nothing against Marcus. It is nothing personal against Marcus.”
