Manchester United will gear up their focus towards securing a coveted spot in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Europea League as they head to Italy to face off against AC Milan.
With the scoreline 1-1 from the first leg held at Old Trafford, United will be in for a daunting task as the Serie A giants enjoy the possession of a key away goal scored last time around by Simon Kjaer.
The Milan centre-back had netted a late late goal to keep his side in the contest when Stefano Pioli’s men had made the travels to Manchester United, making this week’s meeting at the San Siro an all-important game for both teams.
Let us now take a look at how Solskjaer may set his team up for the forthcoming midweek clash-
4-2-3-1
United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would be lured to retain an unchanged XI that emerged victorious from the weekend top-flight fixture against West Ham United.
However, one change on show could be the returning Edinson Cavani taking Mason Greenwood’s spot up top for the Red Devils as the former’s big-game experience could come in quite handy for the visitors.
The United backline is one department that Solskajer would have little incentive to tinker around with keeping in mid the plaudits that have come their way in recent times.
Scot McTominay and Fred should fend off competition from Nemanja Matic in the holding midfield role for Solskjaer’s side as the midfield pairing have been instrumental to United’s success time and again this season.
