The confirmed Man Utd team news for their huge Europa League semi-final second leg.
Manchester United have been handed a selection boost for their Europa League semi-final second leg against Athletic Club. Ruben Amorim's side have one foot in the final following their 3-0 win in Bilbao a week ago but can't afford any complacency for the return leg at Old Trafford tonight.
United are expected to name the same starting line up that won comfortably last week and a strong side was spotted at Old Trafford in the hours before the match. United players began to arrive at the stadium from 4pm BST, with a couple of interesting inclusions.
The most notable news was that Noussair Mazraoui was part of the group after he had been rested for the weekend defeat to Brentford. There was no sign of Matthijs de Ligt after his recent injury setback though Christian Eriksen was present after he missed training on Wednesday.
