FC Midtjylland eyeing "miracle" at Manchester United

FC Midtjylland head coach Jess Thorup says that it would be a "big achievement" for the Danish side if they were to beat Manchester United in the Europa League last 32.

FC Midtjylland head coach Jess Thorup has said that it would be a "big achievement" should his side manage to knock Manchester United out of the Europa League tomorrow night.

Danish outfit Midtjylland will take a 2-1 lead to Old Trafford for the second leg of their last-32 tie after stunning the Red Devils at home last week..

Thorup said after drawing United that it would be a "miracle" to beat them, and Midtjylland sporting director Claus Steinlein has used the same word since their victory in the first leg.

Speaking ahead of tomorrow's return leg at Old Trafford, Thorup told reporters: "[The team] have achieved what they have achieved this year and now they play against Man United, which is maybe one of the clubs with bigger history, one of the biggest clubs.

"If we manage to beat them over two games, I don't know if it is a miracle but it'll be big achievement."

Thorup's opposite number Louis van Gaal, meanwhile, has told his United players to be "horny".
