Confirmed line-ups: Manchester United vs Barcelona (Europa League)

Lisandro Martinez returns to Manchester United’s starting line-up in the Europa League as Barcelona are welcomed to Old Trafford.

This fixture is the second of a two-legged tie as Manchester United and Barcelona fight for their position in the Europa League last-16, with the first leg ending in a thrilling 2-2 draw at Camp Nou.

Marcus Rashford was a star fixture of the evening last Thursday, scoring one and creating the other of United’s two goals, and in the process becoming only the third-ever Red Devil to score against Barcelona at Old Trafford.

“We have to keep the same mindset, every day we want to give a better version of ourselves. Tomorrow we have to give the best performance of the season, we believe in it,” said Erik ten Hag on Wednesday afternoon.

“I don’t know what Xavi is thinking,” the Dutchman said. “Obviously, Gavi and Pedri are big players but their squad has so much depth. Tomorrow it will be a very good team from Barcelona so we have to play our best.”

The line-ups for the fixture have been confirmed.
