Kane: goals.
Mourinho: Thrilled.
"[Kane] is doing everything.
“He is doing the striker job of scoring goals, the teamwork of creating space and linking play and the extra work not many strikers do in defence.” [BT Sport]
Harry Maguire on his miss against AC Milan: “I should have scored. I am not making any excuses for that one. I should have scored. I should have put it in the net. That’s why I am a defender and not a forward. But no excuses I have got to score.”
Mikel Arteta on Martin Odegaard:
“He’s really intelligent to find the spaces, he attracts a lot of opponents. We ask him to score goals, to arrive in the box.
“Today, he scored a brilliant goal and his contribution was really important for the team.”
Manchester United will be aiming to advance through to the next stage of the 2020/21 UEFA Europa League when they lock horns with Serie A giants AC Milan at San Siro this tonight in the second leg of their Round of 16 tie.
The first leg, played out at Old Trafford, ended in a 1-1 draw as Simon Kjaer’s late header earned the Rossoneri a vital away goal after Amad Diallo had put the Red Devils in front. The away goal does give Milan an advantage but they cannot afford to rest on that and will need to take the game to Manchester United, who have been impressive on the road.
Leading up to the game, Milan suffered a narrow 1-0 loss to Napoli in Serie A and will be itching to bounce back to winning ways. United, meanwhile, managed to eke out a narrow 1-0 win over West Ham United in the Premier League and will be gunning to build on that and book a place in the quarter-finals of the Europa League.
Hakan Calhanoglu, Theo Hernandez and Ante Rebic are all back after missing the first leg, while Alessio Romagnoli, Ismael Bennacer and Zlatan Ibrahimovic could also be in contention but Mario Mandzukic is still sidelined.
Paul Pogba, Donny van de Beek, Edinson Cavani, and Anthony Martial should be fit to play and David de Gea is back from compassionate leave, although Phil Jones and Juan Mata remain injured.
AC Milan have won four of their five home matches against Manchester United in major European competitions.
Manchester United have won each of their last two away matches against Italian opposition in European competition, most recently against Juventus in November 2018 - prior to this run they had won just three times from 16 such attempts (D3 L10).
Milan have only kept one clean sheet in their last nine home games in European competition (including qualifiers), shipping six goals in their most recent three in the UEFA Europa League this season.
