Manchester United host LASK at Old Trafford in Europa league round of 16 - second leg, as Ole and his team aim finish their job against the Austrian club and proceed to the quarter finals of Europa league, a trophy Ole would love to lift. Manchester United go into this leg with a very good cushion of 5-0 away goals courtsey of strikes from Ighalo, Fred, Andreas, Mata and Greenwood. It would take some sort of a miracle for LASK to beat Manchester United 6-0 to earn the quarter final place. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would not let his team be complacent and will ask for another solid performance from his team to keep up the momentum. The aim for Ole before the restart was pretty much clear, to finish in the Champions league spot, finish off the season with some silverware. The first target has been ticked off, as United finished third in the Premier League, now the second one is to win a trophy. United had a chance to claim a trophy twice, once in the Carabao cup and second in the FA Cup, in both these competitions United went out in the semi-finals. The Devils will surely be competing to win this one available trophy. Team News and Predicted Lineup! Luke Shaw and Axel Tuanzebe have not been included in the 30 man squad for the remainder of the Europa League, Teden Mengi and Ethan Laird are the replacements. In the pre-match press conference Ole has said that Jesse Lingard will start tomorrow against LASK, the comfortable 5 goal lead means Ole can use this match to give chance to some fringe players to stake a claim for the remainder of Europa league and also for the next season. All the players are fit and ready to go into this competition with great confidence and momentum. This could be the United starting XI against LASK : Romero should be the first choice against LASK, given his tremendous record playing for United and also considering the first leg result. In defense, Williams replaces Luke Shaw at LB who is injured and out, Dalot should get a nod for RB, he's not played since the match against Tranmere Rovers and a full 90 minutes would be perfect for him, Ethan Laird might start. Bailly and Mengi as CB's, as Bailly brings in some experience as this could be Mengi's first start for United. Maguire and Lindelof should be given well deserved rest ahead of this fixture. Fred and McTominay at their usual defensive mid-field roles, their partnership was great to watch during the early parts of this season. Mata playing the number 10 role, with James to his left and Lingard to his right. Ighalo should start at the sole striker's position. This team is a pretty good mix up of experience and young players coming in. Tahith Chong, James Garner and Ethan Laird could well be used as substitutes as the tie settles on, late in the game. This is a good, solid starting 11 for Manchester United by rotating enough players and letting the new ones get a taste of playing in the first team. Current Form Manchester United : WDWLDW LASK : WWWLLL Score Prediction Manchester United 3-0 LASK (8-0 aggregate) Manchester United's form in European Competitions against Austrian Clubs has been tremendous with scoring 22 goals and conceding just one.
