Team News
Ruben Amorim says he will rest a number of players and not take risks on the fitness of some others as the Red Devils look to finish the job against Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League.
That means Noussair Mazraoui will be rested while Diogo Dalot will also not be in the match-day squad as he continues his recovery from injury.
Instead, the likes of Harry Amass, Tyler Fredricson, Jaydan Kamason, Bendito Mantato and Chido Obi could all feature, while Amad Diallo and Matthijs de Ligt, both of whom returned from the sidelines to play the closing stages of the Bilbao game, could start on Sunday.
