Wednesday’s Europa League reverse fixture between Manchester United and LASK looks more like a friendly game than a last 16 tense competitive match because of Red Devils comfortable 5-0 win in Austria but after more than four and half months wait for the restart of the Europa League, fans of both teams got their reason to enjoy.
United had two aims for the end of the season and they achieved one in the Premier League. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer team was third in the table and they qualified for next season's Champions League. They played very well after the arrival of Bruno Fernandes who gave them creativity and great first touch in the final third, provided goals and assists, and that helped his teammates to regain confidence. Pogba looked much better player with Portuguese around and the rise in the form of Serbian Nemanja Matić was helpful for the defense that leaked to many goals in the first part of the season. With goals coming on the other end fans were ready to forget all the errors of goalkeeper De Gea and others in the last line, so Solskajer could be satisfied with form and results.
The second aim for Manchester was to win the trophy. They missed the first chance because of the loss in the FA Cup against Chelsea and they fill some pressure to succeed in the Europa League. That would be their second win in this competition in three years and that would make a successful first full campaign in charge of Norwegian coach.
They are already looking forward to the quarter-finals, where they could play against Istanbul Basaksehir or FC Copenhagen because they have a five-goal lead vs Austrian team LASK from the first leg. At Linzer stadium, they managed to score from almost every created chance and that gives no room for hope to the vice-champion of Austria from last season.
That defeat was devastating for LASK who didn’t play good football after that game. LASK entered the coronavirus pandemic as the best in Austrian Bundesliga, but they were punished with minus 12 points for breaking coronavirus safety rules in practice.
They were out of their regular form once they returned to action and won just two from the last ten games and that was crucial for sacking head coach Valerien Ismael after the end of the league where they finished as the fourth team in the table. New boss Dominik Thalhammer will be in charge for the first time at Old Trafford.
LASK was very good in every aspect of the game before the match with Manchester. They conceded as many goals in the first leg as in their first eight matches in Europa League and they were better than teams like AZ Alkmaar, PSV, Rosenborg, or Sporting. Now they must find some spark in this game that could help them to start the new season on a high level. Three defeats in the last three games in Bundesliga left mark on the players who need to prove their value to the new coach. Long term injured Goiginger and Potzmann will also miss this match.
United had a 10-day break between the Leicester match and some players had more than three days off the training ground. It is unlikely that Solskjaer will field his best eleven so players with lower minutes after restart will have a chance to shine.

It is easy to say that Manchester is a heavy favorite to win the second leg even with a changer lineup and 5-0 advantage from the first game. Players like Odion Ighalo, who scored the opening goal in the first leg, like James and also Lingard who scored his first goal in the Premier League in this season in the last minutes of the Leicester game should have the motive to exploit their minutes on the pitch.
Over 2,5 Manchester United goals and Ighalo to score at any time are bets that could be best for this game.
