Manchester United take on Denmark-based outfit Copenhagen in the Europa League quarter-finals in what is their final chance of claiming silverware this season.
They'll head into this fixture in high spirits, having dispatched LASK courtesy a 7-1 aggregate victory. The Red Devils also managed to secure third place in the Premier League, courtesy a fantastic second half of the season.
Copenhagen are carrying substantial confidence into this match-up as well. The Danish side recorded a historic comeback against Istanbul Basaksehir in the previous knockout round.
Trending
Copenhagen are clearly the underdogs in the Europa League at the moment. However, they will aim to pile the pressure on Manchester United and continue progressing in what has been a memorable tourney for them thus far.
They have won just once against English oppositions in their history. Interestingly enough, that victory came against none other than Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United back in 2006.
The Red Devils, however, will be a difficult proposition to square up against, owing to their ruthless front three accompanied by Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes.
Without further delay, we bring all you need to know ahead of Manchester United's quarter-final against Copenhagen.

Manchester United v Copenhagen: Match Prediction
It might well turn out to be the most one-sided quarter-final games, with Manchester United coming away with a massive victory.
One can guess it'll be a case of attack versus defence, and it really is up to Copenhagen to put bodies behind the ball and cover their areas. The Manchester United midfield should outclass the opponent, meaning each of the front three will get into the act as a result of their midfield's creativity.
Predicted score: Manchester United 3-0 Copenhagen
