It's all to fight for as Manchester United take on AC Milan at the San Siro in the second leg of their Europa League tie after the sides played out a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford last week.
Manchester United conceded an equalizer in the 92nd minute of the game against AC Milan and now go into the second leg at the San Siro needing to score at least a goal. AC Milan have the safety of an away goal but have been struggling for form of late and are winless in their last four home games.
The Rossoneri have, in fact, not scored in four of their last seven games at the San Siro. Stefano Pioli's team will definitely hope to turn that around when they take on Manchester United on Thursday.

Meanwhile, Manchester United have had their own set of issues of late. In the absence of a few key players, namely Paul Pogba and Edinson Cavani, the Red Devils have not been scoring a lot of goals.
It was newcomer Amad Diallo who scored their goal in the first leg against AC Milan, a spectacular no-look header which looked very much like a teaser of things to come.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men will back themselves given how solid their away form is. They are also undefeated in 24 of their last 26 Europa League matches.
The Red Devils are also unbeaten in their last 13 matches in all competitions and with some of their main players expected to return to the squad for this one, they should feel confident going into Thursday's game.
AC Milan have also got a raft of players back in their squad after being sidelined through injuries. They will need to regain their form from earlier in the season to keep a buzzing Manchester United at bay, especially if they are back to full strength.
