How Man Utd will line up at Club Brugge with Lindelof BACK but Greenwood, McTominay and long-term Rashford out

VICTOR LINDELOF will make his return for Manchester United in tonight’s Europa League clash against Club Brugge.

But Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side will be without Paul Pogba, Marcus Rashford, Scott McTominay and Mason Greenwood.

Fans thought McTominay was set to make his comeback after he trained with the first-team on Wednesday.

But it has been confirmed that the Scottish midfielder, 23, has not made the trip to Brugge.

Solskjaer has hinted that he will have to rotate his squad for the match due to the club’s busy run of fixtures.

And the boss confirmed that new boy Odion Ighalo could be in line to start as Greenwood has not travelled.

Speaking on the club website, he said: “I’m not going to tell the team today.

“But we’re going to have to rare with all the games we’ve got coming up and yeah, he’s one of them that could start.

“We’ve not 100 per cent decided yet.”

The Norwegian manager has also confirmed Rashford and Pogba are out of action for the forseeable future.

He said: “I would hope Marcus is playing this season. It’ll just be touch-and-go towards the end.

“So hopefully we can go through and get through this tournament and prolong the season.

“It takes time. I’m not a doctor but obviously I was hoping that he would recover quicker than it actually looks like he is going to be out for.

“So another few months definitely.

“Paul has not been part of the team training yet, so it’ll depend on how he feels or when he feels ready to do that, so he’s not anywhere near that yet.”

But the Reds have been handed a huge boost with the return of Lindelof after he missed the 2-0 win over Chelsea due to illness.
