Manchester United vs AC Milan Team News

An ankle injury saw Marcus Rashford leave the pitch during their match against Manchester City and thus the forward is sidelined for the Milan tie. Edinson Cavani is also not available as well as Donny van de Beek who has not been available for the last five games for the Red Devils.

David de Gea, who is in Spain after the birth of his child, Paul Pogba, Juan Mata and Phil Jones will not be present for the home tie.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is expected to be missing for the visiting Milan side as well as Ismael Bennacer, Ante Rebic, Hakan Calhanoglu and Theo Hernandez.

Manchester United vs AC Milan Preview

The Red Devils have been eliminated from four of their five knockout ties with AC Milan, with no side eliminating the Manchester club more often in European competition.

In their last meeting in March 2010, Manchester United won 4-0 against AC Milan and that is the Italians' joint-heaviest defeat in major European competition but excluding Super Cups.

When reaching the last 16 stages of a major European competition, Milan have been eliminated on six of their last seven occasions, this after progressing from nine consecutive such ties from 1988-2007. Their only progression over this period was against Arsenal in the Champions League in 2011-12.

Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes is the top scorer in the Europa League since the start of last season, with 10 goals in 12 appearances at an average of 94 minutes per goal.

Manchester United vs AC Milan Tips and Predictions

The Red Devils, who have scored five goals in as many games and conceded just once, had kept three consecutive 0-0 draws before winning the Manchester Derby with a 2-0 scoreline.

Milan have scored six goals and conceded as many in the last five games with only one clean sheet in the process. Punters can therefore take an offer of under 1.5 at (3.65) with ZEbet.
