Manchester United is in Europa League action today as Ruben Amorim and his players face Athletic Bilbao in northern Spain.
The Red Devils are enduring their worst season in decades as far as the Premier League is concerned, but they can still salvage something from their season in Europe.
Earlier this week, Amorim admitted his team is a way off the best teams in England, but winning the Europa League would secure United a spot in next season's Champions League and significantly boost the club's transfer budget ahead of a huge summer window — a summer window that is also going to be significant for Liverpool.
Bilbao, though, is probably the best team that remains in the competition — so it will be a tall order for United to make it through to the final.
UK viewers can watch the game live on TNT Sports 1 and the TNT Sports app.
Ruben Amorim confirmed in his pre-game press conference that both players are not ready to start but could be involved off the bench.
United is without Diogo Dalot, Toby Collyer, Ayden Heaven and Altay Bayindir for the game in the Basque Country, while Joshua Zirkzee and Lisandro Martinez have both been ruled out for the season.
As for Bilbao, top scorer Oihan Sancet has been ruled out of the first leg after picking up an injury in a La Liga game against Las Palmas last week
