Manchester United team news

While Matthijs de Ligt and Toby Collyer would need once-overs ahead of kick-off, Lisandro Martinez, Joshua Zirkzee, Diogo Dalot and Ayden Heaven are all unavailable for selection here.

Chido Obi-Martin is ineligible to play in the Europa League after he became the youngest Man United player to start a game in the Premier League, with Rasmus Hojlund in line to return up front. Bruno Fernandes and Alejandro Garnacho will feature as the aides in attack.

With Victor Lindelof likely to start on the right side of the back-three, either Noussair Mazraoui or Amad Diallo should be deployed as the right wing-back.

Athletic Bilbao team news

Defender Dani Vivian will be suspended on account of his sending off in the first leg, so Aitor Paredes could slot in alongside and Yeray Alvarez.

Right full-back and skipper Oscar De Marcos, besides attackers Nico Williams and Oihan Sancet are doubts for the game, while Inaki Williams and Alex Berenguer will be raring for starts in the final third with either Maroan Sannadi or Gorka Guruzeta leading the line.

Andoni Gorosabel will stand by in case De Marcos fails his fitness test.
