The Red Devils go into the match top of Group H with two wins from their first two games, while the visitors sit third as they started their campaign with a win and a loss.

Ashley Young is expected to be named in United's squad following a knee problem, but Chris Smalling is still sidelined as he recovers from a broken metatarsal.

Tom Cleverley, Shinji Kagawa and Darren Fletcher could also feature after being rested for Saturday's 4-2 win over Stoke City in the Premier League.

Meanwhile, Braga have no new injury concerns ahead of the match.
