The Red Devils and their Danish counterparts will hope to secure favorable results with the final of the competition just two games away.

Match Preview

After seeing off LASK via a 7-1 aggregate win in the Round of 16, Manchester United are ready to go a step further in their final charge for a trophy this season when they take on Copenhagen. The single-knockout encounter, scheduled to take place at the RheinEnergieStadion in Cologne, Germany, could put either of the two sides within just a game away from the final.

For United, the objective will be to replicate the top form that has seen them at the end of a series of impressive results since the knockout stage of the competition commenced. After progressing to the elimination round as winners of Group L, the Old Trafford outfit defeated Club Brugge in a 6-1 aggregate scoreline in the Last 32 before thrashing LASK 7-1 in the two-legged Round of 16 tie.

Since the restoration of football in Europe after the coronavirus hiatus, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men have been almost unplayable, ranking as one of the most in-form teams on the continent. Bar the FA Cup semi-final defeat at Wembley to Chelsea, the 2016/2017 season Europa League winners have been unbeaten in their last 21 appearances. Six of the games were drawn while 15 ended in wins for the Red Devils.

All the above withstanding, it will be a dream come true should Copenhagen successfully defy the odds and get the better of their English opponents. After sailing through the Europa League group stage with nine points and just six goals to show for, the Danish league champions have proven that they can compete at a higher level with wins in the two knockout games played so far.

Stale Solbakken's men successfully eliminated Celtic via a 4-2 aggregate win in the Round 32 before overturning a 1-0 loss suffered in March to kick out new Turkish league champions Istanbul Basaksehir last week. Nevertheless, their recent form of gives little room for optimism.

Currently, Copenhagen are unbeaten in three matches across all competitions but the tale before the winning streak sits parallel with this narrative. During the period, 15th-time Danish champions failed to win six games in succession, recording two draws and four losses.
