The Norwegian has overseen four losses at this stage of competitions during his managerial tenure at Old Trafford, including in last season's Europa League.

The Red Devils have eliminated Real Sociedad, AC Milan and Granada in the previous rounds of Europa League fixtures, and will be confident of overcoming an inconsistent Roma outfit.

The Italian side currently sits seventh in the Serie A table and has won just once in the last seven league matches.

As for United, having all but secured a Champions League place for next season, the team will be fully focused on lifting the first piece of silverware in four years.

Roma: Gianluca Mancini is suspended, while Antonio Mirante, Pedro, Riccardo Calafiori and Nicolo Zaniolo are missing through injury.

Chris Smalling returned to the side at the weekend and could feature against his former club, as could Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who scored for United in the 2017 Europa League final.

Our prediction: Man Utd v Roma

United are heavy favourites ahead of the first leg, and rightly so after a solid campaign both domestically and in Europe.

The Red Devils have saved some of their best performances this season for continental clashes and have already disposed of stronger sides in the Europa League.

Having conceded just once from six outings in the competition this season and with the firepower of Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba, United could make light work of an out-of-form Roma side.

Our prediction: Man Utd 2-0 Roma (13/2 at bet365)
