Manchester United travel to Austria on Thursday night for the first leg of their Europa League last 16 tie with LASK.
Linzer Athletik-Sport-Klub are not regulars in the latter stages of European competition, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side are big favourites to progress.
Here, Sportsmail takes a look at how the two sides stack up, from their history and league position to squad cost and star man...
Record signing
Manchester United: Paul Pogba, £89m; LASK: Marvin Potzmann, Rene Renner, £450k
Just the £88.55million difference to start us off then. Paul Pogba was not only the most expensive Manchester United deal of all-time, but one of the most pricey transfers in world football when he came back to Old Trafford in 2016. He will not be fit for the LASK game on Thursday, but is closing in on a return to action and may well line up in the reverse leg.
LASK, meanwhile, count two of their current star men as joint-record signings: left back Marvin Potzmann and left winger Rene Renner. Both joined in the summer for fees in the region of £450,000 from fellow Austrian Bundesliga sides Rapid Vienna and SV Mattersburg respectively.
Squad value
Manchester United: £718.88m; LASK: £28.15m
Based on the information of Transfermarkt, Manchester United's squad is worth a whopping £718.88m at their current market values. That includes huge price-tags on the heads of Harry Maguire, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial, while Bruno Fernandes' recent arrival has boosted the number by another £54m.
Over at LASK, meanwhile, the market values are significantly lower with most players currently standing at under £1m. The squad's total value is estimated at £28.15m, with the most expensive man Alexander Schlager at £4.05m.
To put the numbers into perspective, LASK's entire squad is worth slightly less than Mason Greenwood alone (£28.8m).
League position
Manchester United: 5th, Premier League; LASK: 1st, Austrian Bundesliga
It has been a topsy-turvy Premier League campaign for Manchester United, but they have found some form at the perfect time and appear to be on an upwards curve following the arrival of Fernandes. Solskjaer's men are currently 10 games unbeaten as they head into the business end of the season - coronavirus permitting - and look well-placed for a top four spot come May.
In Austria, LASK are also in fine form and top the 12-team Austrian Bundesliga at the end of the regular season. It is a stunning position to be in for one of the more historically small teams in the country, improving on their 2nd-placed finish last season to leapfrog RB Salzburg and take top spot.
Stadium size
Manchester United: 74,879; LASK: 6,009
Of course, the size of the stadium matters very little when there are no fans there, but it still demonstrates the huge divide between United and LASK ahead of the first leg of their tie on Thursday night. While Manchester United have one of the biggest stadiums in Europe, LASK have the second smallest in Austria.
Old Trafford, the venue for the second leg, holds 74,879 and is the biggest of any stadium in the Premier League. LASK, meanwhile, play their football at Waldstadion Pasching, which holds just 6,009, dwarfed by 10 of the other teams in the Austrian Bundesliga. Only TSV Hartberg's ground holds fewer fans.
Due to the coronavirus outbreak across the world, the match on Thursday will be played behind closed doors in Pasching.
Managers
Manchester United: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer; LASK: Valerien Ismael
In the dug-out at Manchester United is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, a club legend with a history of scoring big goals during his playing days. As a manager, he's been through tough times but his side are in impressive form and he's back in the fans' good books. A trophy in the Europa League and a top-four finish would do him the world of good going forward, though.
Former Bayern Munich and Crystal Palace centre-back Valerien Ismael is currently at the helm for the Austrian Bundesliga leaders LASK. The Frenchman spent just ten months at Selhurst Park after being brought in for a then club-record fee of £2.75million in January 1998.
After spells in France with Lens and Strasbourg, the former France Under-21 international moved to the Bundesliga, where he represented Werder Bremen, Bayern and Hannover, with whom he played his final game before retiring in 2009. He took up a coaching role at his final club, before moving on to roles elsewhere in Germany, and then on to Greece with Apollon Smyrnis, where he was sacked after six days following a row with the president.
However, Ismael's managerial career appears to be back on track in Austria. Having succeeded Oliver Glasner as head coach, he led LASK to their best start in history earlier this season, with 17 points coming from their first eight games, and domestic silverware for the first time since 2017 certainly appears to be on the cards.
Trophies/History
Manchester United: 20 league titles, 3 Champions Leagues; LASK: 1 league title
Once again, there isn't really a contest when it comes to previous success between the two clubs. Manchester United are 20-time champions of England, and have won the European Cup or Champions League on a total of three occasions. Most recently, they lifted the Europa League in 2017.
2017 was also the year of LASK's last piece of silverware... but it came in the Austrian second division as they secured promotion to the top flight. They have won the Bundesliga - or the top division - just once back in 1965, but finished runners-up last season. They are also one-time winners of the Austrian Cup, also back in that successful 1954-65 season.
Star man
Manchester United: Bruno Fernandes; LASK: Joao Klauss
Bruno Fernandes has given Manchester United a much-needed boost since his January arrival from Sporting Lisbon, providing the spark to take the team on to the next level. He has played eight times so far, scoring three goals along the way. If they go on to success this season, he will have been a major factor.
At LASK, there is no real standout man. As mentioned above, goalkeeper Alexander Schlager is technically the most valuable, while second most-pricey star Thomas Goiginger has ruptured a cruciate ligament and is out of action. Attention, then, will turn to Hoffenheim loanee Joao Klauss, who is currently in sparkling form.
Last time out, LASK beat Mattersburg 1-0 and Klauss got the goal, and a week prior to that he netted a hat-trick in a 5-1 triumph against Hartberg. The 23-year-old Brazilian is hitting form at just the right time.
