Manchester United will be hoping to secure their place in the last-16 of the Europa League when they face FCSB at the National Arena this evening, kick-off 8pm.
United head into their final game of the league phase stage of the competition sitting fourth in the table following last Thursday night’s 2-1 win over Rangers at Old Trafford. The top eight teams will automatically qualify for the last-16.
United have 15 points to their name, two clear of ninth-placed Galatasaray, meaning a victory for Ruben Amorim’s men this evening will guarantee them a place in the next round of the competition. A draw will also likely be enough to see them through.
In the event of United suffering a first Europa League defeat of the season in Bucharest, they may have to work their way through next month’s play-off round to secure a spot in the last-16. FCSB are also in contention to qualify automatically, currently sitting eighth.
United have won each of their last four Europa League matches and will be aiming to win three successive matches under Amorim for the very first time.
