English Premier League (EPL) legend, Michael Owen has backed his former side, Manchester United to win by three goals to nil in their Europa League round-of-16 second-leg match against LASK on Wednesday night.

AllNews reports that the second leg is, to a certain extent, an exhibition match at Old Trafford as United thrashed their Austrian opponents five-nil prior to the COVID-19-enforced break in March.

Writing in his column for BetVictor recently, Owen, 40, who also made name with Liverpool said: “United have already qualified for next season’s Champions League, by way of their third-place finish in the Premier League.

“They were very comfortable winners in the first leg of this tie when they thrashed LASK 5-0 in Linz way back in March.

“LASK were very impressive in the group stages of the competition when they finished top of their group. They then dispatched AZ Alkmaar comfortably in their round of 32 tie but the wheels have fallen off somewhat since and they finished their 2019-20 league campaign, losing six of their last ten Austrian Bundesliga matches.

“The Red Devils are unbeaten in their last 13 Europa League home games and have registered four wins out of four at Old Trafford this season, scoring 13 goals and conceding none.

“It’s difficult to see anything other than another tough night for the Austrian team and I am going for another clean sheet and easy victory for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men in this one. Manchester United to win 3-0.”
