Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has welcomed their Europa League quarterfinal against FC Copenhagen.

FCK will meet United in Germany after their 3-0 second-leg victory over Mediapol Basaksehir, reaching the final eight 3-1 on aggregate.

Solskajer is close to FCK coach Stale Solbakken and says: "I know Stale Solbakken very well. He's one of my good friends. I took my pro-license training with him in Copenhagen.

"So I know pretty much everything there is to know about Stale. And he probably knows all there is to know about me. I look forward to the match."

He added: "Stale's teams are always well organised and difficult to play against. There are very talented young players with experience. He has done fantastic work to build team after team, and it will be difficult."
