Erik ten Hag Manchester United press conference LIVE Man Utd vs Barcelona team news

Erik ten Hag will speak to the press on Wednesday afternoon as he looks ahead to Manchester United's Europa League play-off second leg against FC Barcelona.

The two sides head into the match perfectly poised following last week's enthralling 2-2 draw at Camp Nou, and with no away goals any more, the tie is back where it began ahead of the rematch.

Ten Hag could be quizzed on the likely takeover of United after official proposals were made public last week, though he is not expected to give much guidance on the matter at such an early stage.

The United manager will also be asked for any early team news ahead of the match after Anthony Martial missed the weekend win over Leicester. There could also be updates on the fitness of Antony and Scott McTominay.
