Ruben Amorim will need to get his Manchester United team selection spot on when they face Athletic Club in their Europa League semi-final tie next month. United are set for their worst-ever Premier League finish but could salvage their season if they win the Europa League and qualify for the Champions League.
It is easier said than done, though. United might still be the only undefeated side left in the competition, but they left it late to overcome the 10 men of Lyon in their epic quarter-final tie. United inexplicably let a two-goal lead slip in the match and conceded four unanswered goals before they staged an almighty comeback with three goals of their own.
Amorim will hope his side has better control of the tie when they face Athletic Club in the first leg next week, and he will also have to pick the right team to get the job done. Here is what we think the strongest line up will be for those ties.
