Manchester United welcome Real Sociedad to Old Trafford for the second leg of the Europa League round of 16 tie tonight.
The Red Devils drew 1-1 with the Spanish outfit in the first leg. United were the better side until Sociedad scored from the penalty spot.
Manager Ruben Amorim will be eyeing a strong performance to progress to the quarter-final stage of the competition.
Formation: 3-4-2-1
Predicted Line-up:
Andre Onana is expected to continue in goal for the Red Devils, with back-up goalkeeper Altay Bayindir sidelined with an injury.
Leny Yoro is ruled out due to a foot injury. Noussair Mazraoui should drop into the back three alongside Matthijs de Ligt and Victor Lindelof.
Ayden Heaven had a good outing off the bench against the Gunners, but Amorim may lean towards more experienced players.
Diogo Dalot is poised to start at right wing-back and Patrick Dorgu should return on the opposite flank.
Dorgu is suspended for one more domestic game but is eligible to play in Europe.
Casemiro had one of his best games of the season in the number six role on Sunday but could be dropped for Manuel Ugarte.
Ugarte was back in full training in yesterday’s session. He is expected to start alongside Bruno Fernandes in the centre of the park.
Christian Eriksen could drop to the bench. Joshua Zirkzee may start in attacking midfield alongside Alejandro Garnacho.
Rasmus Hojlund got into two excellent scoring positions against Arsenal, but he was denied by two last-ditch tackles.
He has not scored in 20 games but should get another chance to break his goal drought against Sociedad.
Chido Obi did not come off the bench against his former club last weekend, and Amorim won’t be able to involve him in Europe.
