JAKARTA - Manchester United will host Liverpool in the Premier League this weekend. With a 6-2 victory over AS Roma in the first leg of the Europa League semifinals, Friday, April 30 in the early hours of the morning, the Red Devils are confident of the match against the Reds.

However, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men refused to Java with the landslide victory. On the contrary, they will stay focused on every match.

After the match against Roma Wolves, midfielder Bruno Fernandes said he would not ignore the second leg and other matches.

"A four-goal lead clearly puts us in the best position, but we will not ignore the second leg in Rome," Fernandes said after the match, quoted by Antara from the official UEFA website.

"We still have to finish the work against them. It's not over yet," he added.

Fernandes scored two goals in this match, where Manchester United, who had trailed 1-2 from Rome until halftime, was able to rise to a 6-2 victory.

The Portuguese star admitted that the Red Devils' troops did not perform well in the first half. This is what should be a concern when they host the Reds and also visit Italy next week.

"A very good match. We started well, but not quite well during the first half. Our second half was much better, sharper, more aggressive and the flow of the pass was better," he said.

"We started the second half well, something very important. Since then, we have continued to create opportunities and take advantage of them. Roma are a great team, but we deserved this result thanks to the performance in the second half," said Fernandes complementing.

With a four-goal advantage in the aggregate meanwhile, MU can be considered to have set one foot in the Europa League final.

United on paper only needs a draw when they travel to Roma at the Olimpico on Thursday next week to seal their first final appearance under Solskjaer.

However, before setting foot in Italy, they must first focus on facing Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday. Kick-off scheduled at 22.30 western Indonesia time.
