Jose Mourinho has handed Luke Shaw a rare start at the back as Manchester United host Anderlecht in the second-leg of the Quarter Finals of the UEFA Europa League.

In other team updates, Jesse Lingard, who visibly came off with a knock, as evidenced by his Instagram post, against Chelsea, is named in the starting lineup. Wayne Rooney also makes an appearance on the bench, equipping Jose with an extra attacker should he be in need of one during the game.

Michael Carrick will lead the team out at Old Trafford and the veteran is likely to play a key role if United are to qualify to the next stage.

Anderlecht’s midfield holding duo of Tielemans and Dendoncker start again and the duo are expected to make things difficult again for the Red Devils.
