Manchester United fans have named who they want to see start against Sevilla in the second leg of their club’s Europa League quarter-final clash amid Bruno Fernandes’ absence through suspension.
The Portugal star’s harsh yellow card in the first leg was his third in the competition, bringing about a one-game ban.
United were handed a boost on Wednesday when Marcus Rashford returned to training alongside Luke Shaw, who has missed the last three matches. Marcel Sabitzer was forced out of Sunday’s 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest after picking up a groin injury in the warm-up.

He is also available for the trip to Seville, as is Tyrell Malacia who missed the Forest victory with a knock. However, voting on the MEN, fans chose Shaw to come straight back in with Aaron Wan-Bissaka on the other defensive flank.
Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof are expected to start in front of David de Gea in goal amid the injuries to Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez. Casemiro and Christian Eriksen - who started his first game since his January injury against Forest - have been named in midfield.
Fans want to see Marcel Sabitzer come in as the third midfielder in place of Fernandes. Antony played superbly against Forest, claiming a goal and an assist, and fans expect him to start on the right against Sevilla.
Anthony Martial has been chosen to lead the line with Jadon Sancho keeping his place on the left despite Rashford’s return.
It is not known at what capacity Rashford is able to play as he gets back up to full speed following his groin injury picked up against Everton.
If not starting, he could play a bit-part with United travelling to Wembley for an FA Cup semi-final against Brighton on Sunday.
Selected XI: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw; Casemiro, Eriksen, Sabitzer; Antony, Martial, Sancho.
