What are the managers saying ahead of LASK vs Manchester United?

Valerien Ismael, LASK manager: "I see it soberly — LASK has so far been little known at the international level. It is, of course, surprising to many that there is an Austrian club in the round of sixteen that is not called Salzburg. Only those who have followed our path will not underestimate us.

"Sure, Manchester United are the favorites. It’s like a duel between David and Goliath. But this is our chance again. The fact is that we will not freeze in awe of Man United and only take photos for our album. We will prepare well and do our aggressive pressing. We do that, regardless of whether the opponent is Vocklamarkt or Manchester."

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Manchester United: "It’s a new experience for us to play against them. The name is not very familiar for many, I would guess, but I’ve followed Austrian football a little bit and there have been quite a few Norwegians playing there.

"They’ve beaten Rosenborg this year, in the group stages, and of course Sporting, so Bruno has been involved against them. They beat [AZ] Alkmaar, who we’ve played in Europe. We’ll get to know more about them, but I guess Bruno can do the team talk!

"Bruno told me they do play expansive football. The goalkeeper joins in a lot with the play, so it’ll be interesting."
