Manchester United will aim to pick up their first Europa League win of the campaign when they make the trip to face Moldovan powerhouses Sheriff Tiraspol in Thursday’s Group E contest at the Zimbru Stadium.

Luke Shaw’s foot injury has let up in time for him to be a part of the squad, while Rashford’a absence ought to lead to another start for Cristiano Ronaldo in the final third.
