Louis van Gaal and Manchester United will have to fight back from a 2-1 first-leg defeat if they are to progress against FC Midtjylland in the Europa League.

The club suffered a shock defeat in Copenhagen last week, adding to the misery of David De Gea's injury in the warm-up.

Van Gaal continues to find himself under huge pressure, with Jose Mourinho waiting in the wings.

  • David De Gea and Wayne Rooney likley to be missing again for Manchester United
  • Chris Smalling will face a fitness test ahead of the game, after picking up a knock against Shrewsbury
  • Marouane Fellaini and Matteo Darmian are also out
  • Youngster Donald Love could see some playing time
  • United are unbeaten in nine European gome games, the last defeat against Real Madrid in 2013
