Valverde ha definitively chosen the starting lineup that will face the challenge of overturning the 0-3 deficit from the first leg held at San Mamés during this Europa League semifinal, which takes place tonight at Old Trafford. The Athletic Club faces this match with significant absences, including the Williams brothers, Vivian, and Sancet, yet they remain hopeful of pulling off a major upset in Manchester. The match is set to kick off at 21:00 with German referee Daniel Siebert officiating.
The Basque team’s initial formation includes Agirrezabala; Gorosabel, Yeray, Nuñez, Yuri; Jauregizar, Galarreta; Djaló, Unai Gómez, Berenguer; and Maroan. Their squad is rounded out with Unai Simón, De Marcos, Paredes, Vesga, Guruzeta, Lekue, Prados, Canales, Adama, Olabarrieta, Rego, and Varela.
On the other hand, Manchester United will field the same team that played last Thursday at San Mamés: Onana; Lindelof, Maguire, Yoro; Mazraoui, Ugarte, Casemiro, Dorgu; Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes; and Hojlund. Those who will be waiting on the bench include Bayindir, Heaton, Amass, Fredricson, Kamason, Shaw, Eriksen, Mainoo, Mount, Amao, and Mantato.
The Athletic will be bolstered by the presence of around 4,000 red-and-white supporters in the stands of Old Trafford.
