Man Utd won the first leg against LASK at the Linz Stadium just outside Vienna. The Red Devils ran riot with the Austrian team with a 5-0 scoreline to put the game to bed. The second leg was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic but now resumption of hostilities can be underway, as LASK visits the Old Trafford o see if they can overturn their deficit or say goodbye to the Europa League for the 2019-20 season.
Ole Solskjaer's side has already sealed a return back to Champions League since they were defeated last season against Barcelona, They finished comfortably at 3rd on the EPL table and have a 5-away goal advantage to cling to. They are a better side and more in-form than the LASK team. The three friendlies organized for the LASK team to play to keep them in form ahead of the Europa fixture ended in losses for them.
Solskjaer would rest most of his first-team players like Martial, Bruno Fernandes, Pogba, and Greenwood

This is the first-ever meeting between these two sides. The first time Getafe will play Inter Milan but more importantly is playing at the San Siro in Milan
Inter Milan ended their Serie A season on high finishing 2nd with just 1 point behind Juventus. If the Serie A had one more match left, Juventus would have been in trouble of losing the Scudetto to them. Getafe is also a good team in La Liga but dropped to 8th when they lost their two last games of the season; first to Atletico and later to Levante. They have not kicked the ball in any official game since July 19th, which makes them less-fresh compared to Internazionale who finished their season barely a week ago, precisely on the 1st of August.
Inter's fire-power which includes Lautaro Martinez, Romelu Lukaku, and Eriksen would be on point against the Madrid team at the Giuseppe Meazza in Milan. Conte would want to claim his first silverware since taking up the reins at the Italian capital club. Getafe could not make the European cut at the end of the La Liga season so would want to earn it with the only opportunity left for them. They are not as strong Inter Milan, Inter has also shown how weak their defense can be during the 2019-20 season, a look at those clips by José Bordalás Getafe's manager could be a clue into Inter Milan's weakness.
