Man United team news

United will take their trip to Spain on the back of a sudden injury crisis which has hit the team in recent days.

Erik ten Hag is in danger of missing the service of a number of key players, with defence the worst hit departed.

The duo of Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez is expected to miss the tie, with the latter ruled out for the rest of the season.

Marcel Sabitzer, who shone in the first leg, is the other star player expected to miss the Andalusia trip alongside youngster Alejandro Garnacho.

Tom Heaton, Donny van de Beek and Phil Jones are all long-term absentees and will play no role.

Be that as it may, Ten Hag has been boosted with the imminent return of Marcus Rashford, who was recently spotted in training.

Predicted Man United XI

Given how crucial the tie is, Ten Hag is expected to field a strong XI for the away clash.

The Dutchman is likely to settle for a 4-2-3-1 formation, with David de Gea expected to keep his place between the sticks.

Harry Maguire is in line to partner Victor Lindelof at the heart of defence in the absence of both Varane and Martinez, with Luke Shaw returning on the left.

The biggest headache would be on the right, with Ten Hag likely to overlook Aaron WanBissaka in favour of Diogo Dalot, who was impressive against Nottingham Forest last weekend.

In midfield, Casemiro is expected to partner Eriksen in a defensive role, with Bruno Fernandes playing as a No.10.

Antony and Rashford are likely to lead the attack on either flank, with the returning Anthony Martial playing as the sole striker.
