FCSB vs Manchester United: Line-ups confirmed as Red Devils look to end Europa League league phase unbeaten
The Red Devils are looking to secure a place in the top eight.
Manchester United are on the verge of progressing in the Europa League and a win against FCSB will see them through.
The Red Devils are one of a few unbeaten teams left in the competition but their form under Ruben Amorim has been shaky at best.
And with a tricky trip to Romania, United will have to be on it from the off to prevent any upsets.
They could technically still fall into the play-off places, but it would take a huge swing in goal difference to happen.
Read on to see how both teams line-up.
