Europa League: Manchester United to play Copenhagen or Istanbul Basaksehir
Competition to be completed in 'mini-tournament' style in August
Friday 10 July 2020 16:51, UK
Manchester United will play Copenhagen or Istanbul Basaksehir in the Europa League quarter-finals if they overcome Austrian side LASK.
United are in a strong position to reach the next stage of the competition as they hold a 5-0 first-leg lead over LASK with the second game still to be played.
Wolverhampton Wanderers will face Sevilla or Roma if they progress in their tie against Olympiakos, which finished 1-1 in the first leg in Greece.
The winners of those two quarter-final ties will then meet in the semi-final, meaning an all-Premier League contest in the final four could take place.
A game against Inter Milan or Getafe awaits Rangers, but they must overcome a 3-1 deficit against Bayer Leverkusen with the second leg to come in Germany.
