United go into the match with the scores level at 1-1 know they must score at least one goal and avoid defeat on the night if they are to have any hope of progressing through to the quarter-finals.

It will take a spirited team performance if United are to keep their European dreams alive and ahead of the match and they have been handed a boost with the squad news.

Pogba and Van de Beek are both in contention to play in the second-leg after recent spells on the sidelines while goalkeeper De Gea could return after a successful isolation period after attending the birth of his first daughter in Spain.

Juan Mata and Anthony Martial both remain absent having had recent spells on the sidelines.

Edinson Cavani was originally included in the squad but dropped out hours before United were due to fly, as he "didn't feel ready to travel", according to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
