Man Utd are still looking for their first win of the Europa League campaign and will go again on Thursday when they travel to Turkey to face Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce.
The Red Devils ended a run of five games in a row without a victory at the weekend when they beat Brentford, and they face a Fenerbahce side who will be fired up under the stewardship of Mourinho, who was sacked by United in 2018.
Here’s how the squads are looking ahead of this one.
Fenerbahce Team News
Cengiz Under, Ismail Yuksek, Bright Osayi-Samuel and Irfan Can Egribayat have been joined recently on the injured list by Jayden Oosterwolde, who suffered a cruciate ligament injury at the weekend.
Filip Kostic, Oguz Ayden, Bartug Elmaz and Levent Mercan are not in the Europa League squad.
With Kostic not involved, that should allow Allan Saint-Maximin to be deployed down the left-hand side, while Edin Dzeko and Youssef En-Nesyri will battle for the spot at centre-forward.
Last Fenerbahce Lineup
Here’s how Fenerbahce lined up against Samsunspor.
Man Utd have a number of injury issues to contend with as Leny Yoro, Kobbie Mainoo, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Mason Mount and Toby Collyer remain out.
Casemiro is a doubt after being withdrawn against Brentford due to a calf problem, so it remains unclear who will partner Manuel Ugarte in the middle of the pitch.
Bruno Fernandes is suspended, so that will likely mean Christian Eriksen drafted in, though he could play slightly further back with Joshua Zirkzee in behind the sole striker Rasmus Hojlund.
Here’s how Man Utd lined up against Brentford.
