Louis Van Gaal will lead Manchester United to play FC Midtjylland of Denmark in the Europa League Round of 32.

Currently occupying the 4th position on the EPL Log, United have come under immense criticism and pressure after the 3-2 knockout loss to German club, VFL Wolfsburg in the UCL and missing out on a chance to resuscitate their EPL campaign after losing 1-2 loss Bournemouth on Saturday.

The Red Devils were beaten to the second position on the last day of the UCL group games by Wolfsburg and as a result dropped to the Round 32 of the Europa League – UEFA’s second club tier championship.

It will be all wits-and-guts for Liverpool’s German manager, Jurgen Klopp, as he prepares the Reds for an away trip visit to the city of Augsburg in the last 32.
