The Manchester United vs AC Milan match will take place in the Europa League on Friday midnight. Both teams are strong candidates to win the European second caste competition.
Both teams have recently been criticized for appearing less convincing in domestic competitions. Manchester United had a series of draws in the Premier League.
However, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's squad welcomed this match with high confidence because last weekend it managed to overthrow leaders Manchester City who have an unbeaten record in the last 15 matches.
AC Milan is also equal to three money. Two defeats plus one draw from the last five matches have made Stefano Pioli's squad lose their top position in the Italian League standings. They were overtaken by city rivals, Inter Milan, which now has a six-point advantage.
Luckily for AC Milan, they were able to win 2-0 over Hellas Verona at the weekend.
For both teams, Friday night's match will be their first meeting in the Europa League. They have met 10 times before in the Champions League and European Cup.
Of the 10 meetings, the two teams shared five wins, but AC Milan was slightly superior because it was able to beat Manchester United four times in the Champions League and was only eliminated once.
The problem for AC Milan at the moment is because many of their core players have been absent due to injuries. zlatan Ibrahimovic, Hakan Calhanoglu, Ismail Benazir, Theo Hernandez, and loan attacker Mario Mandzukic will not travel to England.
The soldier experienced a similar situation. Edinson Cavani, Donnie van de Beek, Paul Pogba, Juan Mata and Phil Jones will definitely miss this match.
Marcus Rashford is also uncertain following his injury in the game against Manchester City. Goalkeeper David De Gea is also reportedly still in Spain on family matters.
