Europa League preview – United host Feynoord at Old Trafford

Jose Mourinho will be looking to improve on United’s previous 1 – 0 defeat against Dutch side Feynoord, in tonight’s Europa League clash at Old Trafford.

United go into the game a point behind the visitor’s and Turkish side Fenerbache in Group A knowing a loss would end their Europa League expectations.

Speaking at press conference ahead of the game Mourinho said "We need four points to qualify - there is no space for a defeat, this is a game where we have only two options - win or draw. If we lose we are out so we cannot lose."

In team news’s Armenian playmaker Henrikh Mkhitaryan will start the game, this will only be the new signings second senior appearance after coming on as substitute against Manchester City in September. Luke Shaw will also be available after Mourniho questioned his ability to play through pain barrier two weeks ago against Swansea.

Centre defenders Eric Bailly and Chris Smalling are still both unavailable with Marouane Fellaini looking a minor doubt after picking up a calf strain in training.

The match kicks off at 8:05pm at Old Trafford.
