Having proved watertight at the back recently, Al Hain-Cole expects the Red Devils to ease to victory without conceding against Clement's men
Manchester United will be looking to book their place in the Europa League last 16 when they welcome Club Brugge to Old Trafford on Thursday.

The home side will be heading into this fixture brimming with confidence having dragged Watford to the cleaners on the last match-day. Dominating from start to finish, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s charges posted a 3-0 score-line on the board.

The Red Devils are in the driving seat going into the tie, having secured a 1-1 draw in the away leg at the Jan Breydelstadion.

Manchester United vs Club Brugge Team News

Martial's strike at the Jan Breydel Stadium spared Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 's blushes and ensured that United's unbeaten run remained intact.
It is a run they extended to six matches at the weekend with a comprehensive 3-0 league win at home to Watford, with new signing Bruno Fernandes again making his impact felt.

Fernandes netted one and played a part in the other two goals - scored by Martial and Mason Greenwood - as United moved into fifth place, which would like be enough for a Champions League qualification spot.

United have finally hit a purple patch of sorts, but it is somewhat worrying that they have not won back-to-back matches since the end of last year.

A goalless draw would still be enough for the Red Devils on Thursday given Martial's away goal, but Solskjaer will not want to do things the hard way.

This is a competition United won two seasons ago and they are unbeaten in their last 12 home Europa League games since losing to Marcelo Bielsa 's Athletic Bilbao in March 2012.

Worryingly for Brugge, who are now unbeaten in 14 matches since before Christmas after beating Charleroi on Sunday, they have never won an away European match in England.

That run includes two draws and 10 defeats, most recently losing 2-1 to Leicester City in a Champions League match three seasons ago.

However, Philippe Clement 's men have already picked up a 2-2 draw at Real Madrid in the Champions League this term - albeit after throwing away a two-goal lead - and the first leg showed they should not be entirely written off.

Philippe Clement’s team have not lost any of the last 13 fixtures, and can be backed at to pull off a shock win.

Three of the guests’ last four away games have resulted in draws, and you can get odds of on them grinding out another stalemate in this one.

Man United vs Club Brugge Predictions

United have left themselves with work to do following last week's draw in Belgium, but Solskjaer is expected to name a fairly strong lineup and the Red Devils should have enough to get the job done at Old Trafford.
