Manchester United are three games away from Europa League glory as they head to Germany for Uefa's finals tournament.

United eased past LASK Linz 7-1 on aggregate in the round-of-16, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's reward is a quarter-final tie against FC Copenhagen tonight.

The Danish side shocked Turkish champions Istanbul Basaksehir in the last round to earn a spot in the last eight, but it will be tough going against United.

Solskjaer's side have already qualified for the Champions League so the pressure is off in Germany, but the United boss would dearly love to win his first trophy as Old Trafford manager.

Date, time and venue

Manchester United vs FC Copenhagen is scheduled for a 8pm BST kick-off on Monday, August 10, 2020.

The match will be played behind closed doors at the RheinEnergieSTADION in Cologne, with no fans due to be present due to government guidelines regarding coronavirus.

Prediction: Man United 2-0 FC Copenhagen

The Danish side gave Istanbul a susprise in the last round, so United will have to be wary. However, with Solskjaer's star players having been afforded a much-needed rest, they should return and get the win.
