The Reds defeated LASK 5-0 in Austria before lockdown and means we’re favourites to book a place in the quarter-finals in Germany, against either Istanbul Basaksehir or Copenhagen next Monday.
That victory in early spring was a superb performance from Ole Gunnar’s Solskjaer’s men and only once in our history have we held a bigger lead going into a second-leg tie at Old Trafford.
We had a six-goal advantage over Shamrock Rovers way back in September 1957, following a convincing European Cup success at Dalymount Park.
Liam Whelan and Tommy Taylor both scored twice with Johnny Berry and David Pegg adding two more in the final five minutes.
