Manchester United are back in action in the UEFA Europa League this week as they take on AS Roma in an important semi-final fixture at the Stadio Olimpico on Thursday. The Red Devils thrashed their Italian opponents by a stunning 6-2 margin and are the favourites to win this game.
AS Roma have largely failed to meet expectations this season and have decided to replace Paulo Fonseca with former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho. The Giallorossi suffered a shocking defeat to Sampdoria over the weekend and will need a miracle to turn this tie around.
Manchester United, on the other hand, have surprised fans and skeptics alike this season and find themselves in second place in the Premier League standings. The Red Devils were exceptional in the first leg and will view the UEFA Europa League as an opportunity to end what has been a difficult trophy drought.
