Man Utd 2 LASK 1 (agg 7-1): Lingard scores as Solskjaer’s side set up Europa League quarter-final against FC Copenhagen
Aug 5, 2020
SO it's on to Germany now where the real business will begin.
This never ending competition only gets interesting when we are down to the last eight.
Interesting was certainly not a word that came to mind last night at a match where even the fans on the murals looked bored in the first half.
United did at least win it with Anthony Martial coming on to get a late winner with United’s best move of the match.
They passed their way through the Austrian side and Martial wriggled through a gap to score with just three minutes left, his 23rd goal of the season.
LASK had at least restored a little pride and provided the stand out moment of the game.
Philip Wiesinger almost burst the net with a 25-yard screamer into the top left hand corner to give the visitors the lead in the 55th minute.
It was a lead that would last only two minutes. Juan Mata put Jesse Lingard through and his final shot deflected off the toe of the LASK goalscorer Wiesinger and in.
So that’s that over with.
Now the excitement should grow with a mini tournament that will decide whether Ole Solskjaer can land his first trophy as a Manchester United manager to go with the ten he won as a player.
United fly off to Cologne on Sunday with their quarter-final against Copenhagen the following day.
There is also the chance for an all-English match up with Wolves in the semis.
