Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes that his team is ready to handle the test of Partizan Belgrade.

United face a tricky away tie in the Europa League as they look to cement their position in the group.

Not many United fans will have watched Partizan play in the Serbian league. But Solskjaer is well aware of the threat posed by their opponents.

"Of course, I've watched many games in the lead up here and I also watched them when they played Molde, my old team," said Solskjaer to reporters.

"It was a game that I was following very closely.

"Zoran [Tosic - former Manchester United player], of course, I had him in the reserves at Man United many times.

"He's a fantastic boy with a great left foot, a great work ethic and it'll be great to meet Zoran tomorrow. Hopefully we can stop his left foot because that is of the best quality!

"We've seen the team [Partizan] and prepared our team against them.

"They're a team with some pace, a big, strong striker and there's some talent in there - two or three really talented players."
