Here is how we predict Manchester United and FC Rostov will line up later this week:

To be played on Thursday 9th March 2017 at 18:00. Venue: Olimp – 2,

Odds: Rostov 4/1, Draw 13/5, Man Utd 8/11

Manchester United travel to Russia this week to take on FC Rostov in their Europa League last-16 clash.

Jose Mourinho’s side recently secured the EFL Cup but they were left frustrated when they could only draw at home to Bournemouth in the league a few days later, meaning their wait to crash the top four goes on.

Now United switch their attention to yet another competition, facing a long trip and a potentially tough match just days before a FA Cup quarter-final against Chelsea.

With the Europa League looking increasingly like United’s best chance of qualifying for the Champions League next season, expect Mourinho to go strong in the hope of securing a positive result before the home leg later this month.

United are without Henrikh Mkhitaryan, although the Armenian international should be back for the FA Cup tie, while defender Timothy Fosu-Mensah is a minor doubt due to a knock but is rated at 75 per cent to be fit if called upon.

With that in mind here is how we expect United and Rostov to line up on Thursday evening:
