Solskjaer reacts to Europa League quarter-final draw

The Reds will face Turkey’s Istanbul Basaksehir or Denmark’s FC Copenhagen in the quarter-finals of the competition, should we progress beyond our last-16 tie against LASK.

With a healthy 5-0 lead from the first-leg in Austria in March, United are odds-on favourites to book a place in the next round, which will be held in Germany as part of an eight-team, single-legged knockout tournament necessitated by the COVID-19 situation.

Despite his side’s route to a potential final in Cologne on 21 August now being fully mapped out – United could go on to face Olympiacos, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Roma or Sevilla in a semi-final – Solskjaer isn’t getting carried away with dreams of a showpiece event just yet.
