Man United picked up a superb win over Manchester City on Sunday and next up they return to the Europa League where they take on LASK in Austria.
Manchester United are undefeated in 18 of their last 19 matches in the Europa League which might give the feeling that it will be an easy win for the away side but LASK are undefeated in their last 6 matches in the same competition meaning the Red Devils will have fight really hard in order to pick up a positive result in this game.
While some pundits feel the manager might use some of his youngsters in this game given Man United take on Spurs in the Premier League during the weekend. But we think Ole will not take such a big risk since he’s playing this first leg away from home.
So while players like Mason Greenwood and Brandon Williams will travel but they should remain on the bench for this one.
Man United team news vs LASK:
Sergio Romero has been the Europa League keeper for Man United and the Argentine will once again return in goal for the Red Devils.
Eric Bailly came on late in the second half of the Derby but he should replace Victor Lindelof in central defence in midweek.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Luke Shaw both played on Sunday but the pair will keep their place vs LASK since Solskjaer will be eager to kill this tie in the first leg itself.
Nemanja Matic and Fred will also keep their place in the starting line-up but since the Man United is expected to return to a traditional backline hence Scott McTominay will also come into the side.
Bruno Fernandes provided yet another assist for his new side on Sunday – setting up Anthony Martial for United’s first goal of the night and the Portuguese will once again play in an advanced role in midfield.
Odion Ighalo seems to have added a new dimension to United’s attack since joining the club in January and the Nigerian will be pushing for a start this midweek.
Daniel James put in a fine shift during the derby and the young Welshman deserves a much-needed rest meaning Ighalo is expected to start upfront alongside Anthony Martial.
