Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim confirms his starting XI and bench for Thursday's vital Europa League contest with Rangers at Old Trafford.

Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has confirmed his starting XI and bench for Thursday's vital Europa League contest with Rangers at Old Trafford, including a spot in the team for Alejandro Garnacho.

The Argentina international's future is currently the subject of much speculation, with Chelsea believed to be preparing to meet with the Red Devils in the hope of coming to an agreement over a January transfer.

However, Garnacho has been included in the Man United starting side against Rangers at Old Trafford.

The team shows five changes from the one that took to the field for the first whistle against Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League last time out.

Altay Bayindir, Lisandro Martinez, Christian Eriksen, Toby Collyer and Garnacho are introduced, with Andre Onana, Harry Maguire, Noussair Mazraoui, Kobbie Mainoo and Manuel Ugarte dropping to the bench.

Joshua Zirkzee keeps his spot through the middle, but Marcus Rashford is not in the squad once again; Antony is included on the bench, but the Brazil international will soon complete a loan switch to Real Betis.

As for Rangers, James Tavernier will again captain the team from right-back, while Hamza Igamane leads the line, with the 22-year-old scoring 13 times in 25 appearances for the Scottish giants during the 2024-25 campaign.

Manchester United: Bayindir; Yoro, De Ligt, Martinez; Amad, Eriksen, Collyer, Dalot; Fernandes, Zirkzee, Garnacho
Subs: Heaton, Onana, Maguire, Malacia, Mazraoui, Casemiro, Mainoo, Ugarte, Antony, Hojlund

Rangers: Butland; Tavernier, Propper, Balogun, Jefte; Raskin, Barron; Cerny, Bajrami, Yilmaz; Igamane
Subs: Kelly, Munn, Dessers, Lawrence, Dowell, King, McCausland, Rice, Lovelace, Curtis, Nsio, Hutton
