Team News: Marouane Fellaini starts against Liverpool

Fellaini starts against Liverpool

Louis van Gaal has elected to start the under-fire Marouane Fellaini for Manchester United's Europa League clash with Liverpool at Old Trafford tonight.

The big Belgian has struggled for form as of late and escaped retrospective punishment for appearing to elbow Emre Can in the first leg of this last-16 tie, which the Merseysiders won 2-0, seven days ago.

Van Gaal names just the one change from Sunday's 1-1 FA Cup draw with West Ham United, as Ander Herrera drops out for playmaker Juan Mata.

Likewise, there is one change from the Reds following the first-leg win last week, with Alberto Moreno dropping out of the squad for James Milner, who fills in at left-back.

Daniel Sturridge and Roberto Firmino, who scored the goals last week, start once again as Jurgen Klopp's side bid to reach the quarter-finals.

Manchester United: De Gea, Varela, Smalling, Blind, Rojo, Carrick, Fellaini, Lingard, Mata, Martial, Rashford Subs: Romero, Darmian, Valencia, Williams, Schneiderlin, Schweinsteiger, Memphis

Liverpool: Mignolet, Clyne, Lovren, Sakho, Milner, Can, Henderson, Lallana, Coutinho, Firmino, Sturridge Subs: Ward, Toure, Smith, Allen, Ibe, Origi, Benteke
