Manchester United XI vs LASK: Odion Ighalo starts - confirmed team news and lineup

1/29

Odion Ighalo starts up front for Manchester United in this evening's Europa League tie with LASK.

Anthony Martial’s injury during the Manchester derby means Ighalo leads the lie in the round-of -16, first-leg tie, which will be played behind closed doors due to coronavirus fears.

Diogo Dalot and Jesse Lingard were also absent from an open session at the club’s Carrington complex before Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side set off for Austria.

Solskjaer had expected Paul Pogba to be back in training this week, with the France midfielder nearing a comeback from ankle surgery, but is set to return next week instead.

The £89million man has endured an injury-ravaged campaign, but is desperate to return for the closing stages of the season to aid United’s bid for Champions League qualification and boost his chances of making the Euros this summer.

Manchester United lineup: Romero, Williams, Bailly, Maguire, Shaw, Fred, McTominay, Mata, Fernandes, James, Ighalo

Subs: De Gea, Lindelof, Pereira, Greenwood, Matic, Tuanzebe, Chong

LASK lineup: Schlager, Ramsebner, Trauner, Ranftl, Reiter, Holland, Michorl, Renner, Tetteh, Klauss, Frieser

Subs: Balic, Muller, Wostry, Haudum, Raguz, Sabitzer, Gebauer
