Manchester United vs Celta Vigo
Europa League - Semi-Final
8:05pm at Old Trafford  


   Jose Mourinho reported no new injury concerns for Manchester United as his side look to secure a place in the Europa League final.

The Premier League club already have a 1-0 advantage in the tie thanks to Marcus Rashford's strike in the first leg at the Balaidos last Thursday.

It also gives United a potentially crucial away goal heading into the second leg as they eye a spot in the Stockholm showpiece on May 24.
in the pre-match press conference Mourinho said: "For the club, it's very important to be in a European final and to fight for the only trophy that the club has never won. It's a long journey - this is match number 14 and we are going to fight hard.

"In terms of motivation, we [Man Utd and Celta] are even. For Celta it's, in their words, 'the most important match of their history'.


 
   Team news :

Marouane Fellaini is available for United as his suspension only applies to domestic matches, while Antonio Valencia trained on the eve of the game having missed Sunday's defeat at Arsenal.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is out with a long-term knee injury, while Marcos Rojo (knee), Luke Shaw (foot) and Tim Fosu-Mensah (shoulder) will be sidelined for the rest of the season along with Ashley Young (hamstring).

Celta manager Eduardo Berizzo will be given an injury boost with the return of Pablo Hernandez - known as Tucu - who has been cleared by medical staff for selection.

Berizzo should have a full strength side at his disposal with only long-term absentee Giuseppe Rossi expected to miss out as he continues his injury rehabilitation in the US.
