UEFA announced Europa League Team of the Week as Manchester United dominate the XI.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side thrashed LASK 5-0 in the first-leg of their last 16 tie on Thursday night as they all but secured qualification to the quarter-final stage.

Goals from Odion Ighalo, Daniel James, Juan Mata, Mason Greenwood and Andreas Pereira secured the win on a strange night in Austria.

The match at the Linzer Stadion was held in front of an empty stadium, due to fears about the spread of coronavirus, but that didn't stop United from a thoroughly professional display.

United's win was the highlight of a game week heavily affected by the ongoing pandemic, with six players making their way into the team of the week.
