Are LASK a potential banana skin for Manchester United

Most fans of Manchester United would have licked their lips in anticipation when the Europa League Round of 16 draw pitted them against Austria's LASK.

Not many would have heard the Austrian side's name crop up in mainstream football and in all fairness, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men are red-hot favourites to reach the quarter-finals. However, any measure of complacency could turn out to be counter productive against a team that has the potential to cause an upset.

They are currently fighting for the championship in the Austrian top division with Red Bull Salzburg and are already six points ahead of their rivals.
