Marcus Rashford starts for Manchester United against Barcelona in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final.

Trailing 1-0 after the first leg, when a Luke Shaw own-goal separated the sides, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has picked an attacking line-up - though Romelu Lukaku is only on the bench.

Phil Jones could line up at full-back, with Ashley Young retaining his place in the line-up.

Fred and Scott McTominay provide the base of the midfield, with Paul Pogba supporting a pacey front three.

Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard flank Rashford as United search for goals.
