Manchester United could make three risky selections vs Rangers amid transfer uncertainty

Manchester United and Rangers meet in European competition for the fifth time tonight and the first time in just over 14 years. Back then, the clubs duelled in the Champions League at the group stage.

United effectively need four points from their remaining two Europa League league matches to automatically qualify for the round-of-16 and avoid a two-legged play-off next month. They head to Bucharest to play FCSB next week.

The Europa League has to be the priority for a club that almost certainly will finish outside of the European qualifying places in the Premier League.

Here are five things to look out for at Old Trafford tonight:

Rashford's return?

Ruben Amorim can name a 23-man squad in Europa League games and Marcus Rashford was one of 20 outfield players training on Wednesday. United have a tendency to name multiple goalkeepers on the bench but Rashford was recalled to the squad against Newcastle when United had a depleted squad, so it is unlikely Amorim will snub him in favour of a rookie.

Home discomforts?

United have won one of their last five at home and in that win against Southampton they were minutes away from one of their most humiliating results in the Premier League era.

Teams are not intimidated by United at Old Trafford any more and Twente were well worth their point in September. PAOK had a chance and Bodo/Glimt gave United a run for their money. United could do with a comfortable evening after some uncomfortable nights.

Bayindir or Onana?

It was a risk to start Altay Bayindir in the FA Cup at Arsenal and his first hour was decidedly dodgy. After he superbly stretched to deny Martin Odegaard from the penalty spot, Bayindir had the finest hour of his professional career.
