After bowing out of the FA Cup earlier this week, Manchester United now turn their attention towards the Europa League.

United earned a 1-1 draw in Russia in the reverse leg, and they are favourites to go through. Jose Mourinho’s side haven’t won in their last three games, and the Portuguese will be desperate to get back to winnings ways on Thursday.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who missed United’s FA Cup clash through suspension, will lead the attacking line up once again.

Ander Herrera was sent off against Chelsea, but the Spaniard is eligible to play in Europe. The United midfielder will incur a ban if he picks up a yellow card against Rostov.

United, however, will miss the services of Anthony Martial and Wayne Rooney through injuries.

Predicted Manchester United Starting Lineup (4-2-3-1): De Gea, Valencia, Rojo, Bailly, Blind, Herrera, Pogba, Mata, Mkhitaryan, Rashford, Ibrahimovic

United have an enviable home record, having lost just once at Old Trafford in the Premier League. Rostov’s strategy will be to get a goal somehow and take this game into extra time and beyond.

Rostov are unbeaten in their last seven games in all competitions. However, they have struggled to win matches at a stretch, having won only two competitive matches on the road all season.

Vladimir Granat suffered a nasty injury in the return leg, and he won’t make the trip to Old Trafford. Timofei Kalachev and Aleksandru Gatcan are both suspended for the return leg.

Predicted Rostov Starting Lineup (3-5-2): Medvedev, Kudryashov, Navas, Mevija, Baryramyan, Noboa, Prepelita, Erokhln, Terentjev, Poloz, Bukharov
