Louis van Gaal's men welcome the Danish champions to Old Trafford on Thursday looking to overturn an embarrassing 2-1 defeat in the first leg of this last-32 tie.

The ban could also have an impact on the future of Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea.

De Gea had his heart set on a move to Real Madrid earlier this summer, but a proposed transfer to the 10-time European champions collapsed late on deadline day.

“I sensed that afternoon that we wouldn’t make it in time because I knew the lack of experience by United in these issues."

Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel insists he does not feel guilty about the challenge on Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea which resulted in his three-match ban.
