Erik ten Hag will be without two players when Manchester United host Real Betis at Old Trafford this Thursday, March 9.
The manager will demand an instant response from his players after last weekend’s humiliation against arch-rivals Liverpool.
All United can do now is dust themselves off and go again tomorrow. They take on the fifth-placed La Liga side in the first leg of a last-16 Europa League clash.
The second leg is next Thursday, March 16 at the Benito Villamarin Stadium with a place in a European quarter-final up for grabs. United are currently one of the major favourites to win the competition along with fellow Premier League rivals Arsenal.
United team news
Ten Hag confirmed today in his MUTV press conference that Marcel Sabizter and Anthony Martial are ruled out of tomorrow’s match, however, the Frenchman is back training with the first-team squad, so will likely return to action soon.
It was previously reported that Casemiro would need to be assessed ahead of the tie but given Ten Hag’s update, the midfielder is seemingly fit to feature.
Real Betis team news
Prolific forward Nabil Fekir is sidelined for the rest of the season.
Sergio Canales has returned to action after recovering from injury and Leicester City loanee Ayoze Perez is available for selection.
