Manchester United welcome Athletic Bilbao to Old Trafford for the second leg of the Europa League quarter-final tonight.

The Red Devils have a comfortable 3-0 advantage from the first leg and should easily progress to the final later this month.

Ahead of the second leg, manager Ruben Amorim is expected to make eight changes from the 4-3 league defeat at Brentford.

Andre Onana is expected to return between the sticks after getting a breather.

The central defence should comprise of Harry Maguire, Leny Yoro and Noussair Mazraoui with Luke Shaw and Tyler Fredricson set to be benched.

Matthijs de Ligt has been ruled out due to injury.

Patrick Dorgu should move to left wing-back tonight. Amad Diallo looks poised to make his first start since ankle surgery at right wing-back.

Casemiro and Manuel Ugarte have been brilliant as a midfield pairing in Europe and should retain their places in the centre of the park.

Bruno Fernandes was given a breather last weekend. He is poised to start in one of the attacking midfield positions alongside Alejandro Garnacho.

Rasmus Hojlund is expected to lead the attack against Athletic.

Predicted Man Utd line-up (3-4-2-1) vs Athletic: Onana; Mazraoui, Maguire, Yoro; Amad, Casemiro, Ugarte, Dorgu; Fernandes, Garnacho; Hojlund.
