It's likely to be the most stress-free knockout game in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's managerial career.
Solskjaer's Manchester United heads into the return leg of the Europa League Round of 16 with a commanding 5-0 lead over Austrian club LASK, giving the Red Devils a chance to breathe easy ahead of Wednesday's match at Old Trafford. But even though United has the berth in the quarterfinals all but locked up, there's still much to watch for on Wednesday.
Beleaguered midfielder Jesse Lingard has been tipped to start against LASK, giving the 27-year-old a chance to show that he belongs in Solskjaer's plans going forward. Similarly, it's expected that United will hand a few other lesser-used players some time while keeping in mind that in the quarterfinals the matches become one-legged knockouts.
With United having gone trophy-less since 2017, Wednesday's match presents Solksjaer with the rare opportunity to balance the need to keep sharp while also bringing some lesser lights up to speed.
