Manchester United will aim to bounce back from consecutive Premier League defeats when they face Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League on Thursday. Ruben Amorim's side have struggled in recent games, but they have won their last two European encounters, including a 3-2 victory over Bodo/Glimt.

Viktoria Plzen are unbeaten in their last seven games in all competitions, including wins over Real Sociedad and Dynamo Kyiv in their last two Europa League matches. Manchester United, on the other hand, are dealing with injury concerns, with Luke Shaw and Jonny Evans sidelined.

Manchester United have announced their 24-man travelling squad for the game, with youngster Toby Collyer included. Amorim is expected to rotate his squad, with Harry Maguire and Antony potentially earning rare starts.
