Man Utd player ratings vs LASK: Ighalo and Fernandes shine as United stroll to victory

Manchester United eased into control in their Europa League tie with a thrashing of Austrian side LASK in an eerie empty stadium. United sparked into life with a wonder goal from Odion Ighalo before strikes from Daniel James, Juan Mata, Mason Greenwood and Andreas Pereira finished the job.

The victory puts United in pole position to qualify for the next stage should European football continue beyond next Tuesday’s UEFA meeting.

The governing body will meet to discuss next steps as the coronavirus wreaks havoc in the sporting calendar.

But United made it look like business as usual with a professional display in the Austrian city of Linz.
