Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has made three changes to his side for this evening’s crucial Europa League round of 16 first leg clash with Real Sociedad.
Harry Maguire and Manuel Ugarte have minor injuries and did not travel, while Christian Eriksen returns to the bench after a disappointing outing against Fulham on Sunday.
The trio are replaced by Leny Yoro, Patrick Dorgu and Alejandro Garnacho.
Dorgu is in the middle of a three-match domestic suspension but is able to play in Europe.
Toby Collyer returns to the squad after missing four weeks through injury.
The Starting XI
Andre Onana is in goal.
The back three are Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs de Ligt and Yoro.
Diogo Dalot and Dorgu are the wing backs.
Ugarte is replaced by Casemiro in midfield, who will partner Bruno Fernandes.
Up front, Rasmus Hojlund is the centre forward, Josh Zirkzee the inside right and Garnacho on the left.
The Substitutes
Amorim’s substitutes’ bench is once again not complete and has only seven players.
The two reserve goalkeepers are Dermot Mee and Elyh Harrison.
The remaining subs are Victor Lindelof, Harry Amass, Ayden Heaven, Eriksen and Toby Collyer.
Chido Obi was not registered to play in Europe, while Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez, Mason Mount and Kobbie Mainoo are all also out injured.
Kick-off in San Sebastian is at 5.45pm.
