Manchester United XI vs Milan: Starting lineup and team news - Pogba, Van de Beek, De Gea return to squad

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has named an unchanged Manchester United lineup for tonight’s vital Europa League trip to AC Milan.

The same United XI which beat West Ham on Sunday is playing in Milan, though Paul Pogba, Donny Van De Beek and David De Gea all return to the squad as substitutes.

Pogba has not featured since February 6 due to a thigh complaint and returns with Van de Beek, while De Gea is back from paternity leave.

Edinson Cavani was named in the initial 21-man group, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed he would not travel after having a negative reaction in training on Wednesday.

Anthony Martial is out of the last-16 second leg through injury, while Eric Bailly, Juan Mata and Phil Jones are also absent. Shola Shoretire has stayed at home in order to play for the under-23s.

United drew the first leg 1-1 at Old Trafford, and Milan’s late away goal means the Red Devils must score at least once in Italy to keep their hopes of reaching the quarter-finals alive.

Manchester United lineup: Henderson, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, McTominay, Fred, Greenwood, Bruno Fernandes, James, Rashford

Subs: De Gea, Grant, Alex Telles, Tuanzebe, Williams, Amad, Pogba, Matic, Van de Beek

Man Utd squad: De Gea, Henderson, Grant, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, Telles, Tuanzebe, Wan-Bissaka, Williams, Amad, Fernandes, Fred, James, Matic, McTominay, Pogba, Van De Beek, Greenwood, Rashford

Injury list: Martial, Cavani, Bailly, Mata, Jones
