Midtjylland chairman Rasmus Ankersen hopes shrewd thinking can secure another Premier League scalp for the Danish champions when they take on Manchester United in the Europa League.
Monday's draw in Nyon handed Midtjylland a mouth-watering last-32 clash against Louis van Gaal's team, who drop down from the Champions League having lost out to Wolfsburg and PSV in Group B.
Midtjylland prevailed 2-1 on aggregate against Southampton during the preliminary stages of the Europa League this year and they took United's rivals Manchester City to a penalty shootout in 2008.
Ankersen is well-versed in English football from his other role as co-director of football at Championship side Brentford and he is realistic about the gulf in resources that the tie throws up.
