Manchester United delivered a commanding performance away from home to breeze past LASK in a 5-0 victory and all but book their place in the quarter-finals of the Europa League.

Odion Ighalo’s brilliant first-half strike got the ball rolling for the Red Devils in what was a routine victory in a match with no crowd due to the deadly coronavirus.

United dominated LASK from start to finish

The Nigerian striker neatly brought down Bruno Fernandes’ inch-perfect through ball before rifling the ball into the back of the net.

United made it 3-0 with nine minutes to go as a pass from Fred split the LASK defence and an unmarked Mata took a touch before stroking the ball home.

Mason Greenwood added a fourth when he ran into the area and fired a shot in off the near post in stoppage time before Andreas Pereira wrapped up a 5-0 win shortly after.
