WHAT’S THE TEAM NEWS?
Erik ten Hag may provide the latest update on his squad when he conducts his pre-match press conference later today (Thursday), which we’ll bring you the first part of from 17:30 BST.
Recent returnee Mason Mount got his first minutes since August’s trip to Brighton during Wednesday’s draw with FC Twente, having been welcomed back from an injury he picked up on the south coast.
Victor Lindelof, Tyrell Malacia, Luke Shaw and Leny Yoro all remained sidelined for the midweek outing, although Ten Hag was hopeful earlier this week that Shaw would be involved before the upcoming October international break.
As for Tottenham, the availability picture will likely become clearer after their own Europa League opener against Azerbaijani champions Qarabag tonight, for which they will be without forwards Wilson Odobert and Richarlison due to injury.
Key defender Cristian Romero is suspended for the European tie, while full-backs Sergio Reguilon and Djed Spence are ineligible, but all three could be involved at Old Trafford on Sunday.
