This is the first time that Manchester United will play AZ Alkmaar in the UEFA Europa League. The onus will be on former United player and current coach - Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - to bring home all three points after Thursday night's match at the Cars Jeans Stadium. After the recent draw against Arsenal, the English Premier League club will look to register another win on matchday two of the UEFA Europa League. The Dutch club have won just two of their 12 matches against English opposition in European competition (D4 L6). AZ Alkmaar have only won one of their previous six games on home soil (D1 L4) having conceded at least two goals in four matches.
