Following a morale-boosting victory at Etihad Stadium last Sunday, Manchester United will quickly turn their attention to the Europa League. After seeing off Real Sociedad in the previous round, United will have to overcome this more difficult test to progress in the competition.

Meanwhile, AC Milan knocked out Red Star Belgrade in the previous round to ensure progression into the last-16 of the competition. They will travel to the ground of their 2003 Champions League triumph in search of an advantage to take to San Siro.

Manchester United vs AC Milan Team News

In their last fixture, Manchester United secured a 2-0 victory against city rivals Manchester City. Two minutes into the game, United went ahead courtesy of a Bruno Fernandes's penalty goal. City suffered further setback after the start of the second period when Luke Shaw found the net. Although the hosts had an unusual off day, missing a number of chances, they ultimately lost all three points to the visitors.

This victory lifted Manchester United back into second place, albeit eleven points adrift the league leaders, having collected 54 points from 28 league games. Also, their victory against City marked the end of their run of three straight draws in all competitions.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will surely be impressed with team's showing at Etihad Stadium, and he will charge them to take the momentum into this Europa League fixture, as it is crucial to their ambitions of lifting a silverware this campaign.

AC Milan's last outing saw them claim a 2-0 victory at Verona in the Serie A. The visitors showed superior quality when Rade Krunic scored a superb free-kick to give Milan the lead. Immediately after the start of the second half, they doubled the lead, all thanks to Diogo Dalot who scored his maiden Serie A goal to secure maximum points for AC Milan.

This victory ensured that the Rossoneri kept their place in second, having amassed a total of 56 points from 26 league games. At a point this season, Milan were at the top of league table, but they currently sit six points adrift co-tenants Inter Milan.

It is fair to add that Stefano Pioli have had to deal with injury troubles in his squad, resulting in his side's slip down the Serie A table, and their elimination from the Coppa Italia. Just like their English opposition, the Europa League represents their most probable chance of winning a trophy this season.

This will be their first meeting in 11 years, and that they will be meeting in the Europa League - for the first time ever - only highlights the regression both sides have suffered in recent years. Although it is worth stating that they are beginning to near the heights once attributed to two of Europe's once dominant sides.

Injured or Suspended Players

Manchester United: Phil Jones, Paul Pogba, Edinson Cavani and David de Gea.

AC Milan: Daniel Maldini, Ismael Bennacer, Mario Mandzukic, Hakan Calhanoglu, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Theo Hernandez and Ante Rebic.

Man United vs AC Milan Predictions

Manchester United are currently on an impressive 17-match undefeated streak. And the Red Devils will welcome this Italian opposition to their turf with history on their side, having won four of their five meetings against the side at Old Trafford.

Meanwhile, Milan are on an inconsistent run of form, winning only two of their last seven matches across all competitions. Although the Rossoneri will prove to be a sterner test than Real Sociedad, United are the favourites in this game.
