Ander Herrera, Daley Blind not in Manchester United squad

Ander Herrera and Daley Blind will both miss Manchester United's Europa League clash with Liverpool on Thursday night.

The duo were expected to start the second leg of the last-16 clash at Old Trafford, with Herrera sitting alongside head coach Louis van Gaal at his official pre-match press conference on Wednesday afternoon.

Neither Herrera nor Blind were part of the 18-man squad that arrived at The Lowry Hotel, however, and it is currently unclear whether the pair are injured or have been rested.

Antonio Valencia and Cameron Borthwick-Jackson both make it though, in addition to 17-year-old RoShaun Williams, who made the squad against West Ham United at the weekend.

Man United currently trail 2-0 from the first leg at Anfield last week.

Full squad:

De Gea, Romero; Valencia, Darmian, Varela, Smalling, Williams, Borthwick-Jackson, Rojo; Schneiderlin, Schweinsteiger, Fellaini, Carrick, Lingard, Mata, Memphis; Martial, Rashford
