**Manchester United’s clash with Astana tonight in the Europa League could [guarantee their progress from the group stage as winners](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/europa-league/table) if they grab all three points in Kazakhstan, with supporters praising Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ahead of the match.**
