Sports Mole rounds up Manchester United’s injury and suspension news ahead of the second leg of their Europa League semi-final with Athletic Bilbao.
Manchester United are back in action on Thursday night when they play host to Athletic Bilbao in the second leg of their Europa League semi-final.
Last week, the Red Devils produced arguably their best performance of the campaign as they ran out 3-0 victors at the home of the La Liga outfit.
Although Ruben Amorim witnessed his side lose 4-3 at Brentford on Sunday, there will be confidence that they can get over the line at Old Trafford.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man United’s injury and suspension news ahead of their contest with the Spanish outfit, who warmed up for this match with a goalless draw at Real Sociedad.
