It has long been no secret to anyone that Manchester United this season is betting on the victory in the European League, which will not only bring the mankunians a trophy that was not yet in their collection, but also provide a direct ticket to the group stage of the Champions League. This was confirmed by eight substitutions in the starting lineup that Jose Mourinho produced in the Premier League match against Arsenal in comparison with the match in Vigo.

There remains a small snag: to finish to the end begun in Spain and, in case of the decision of this task, to overcome in Stockholm the winner of the pair Lyon-Ajax.

In the last four away matches Celta in the European League has never lost, and won three times with a score of 2: 0, which will absolutely suit Spaniards. Also, the Galicians do not get tired of recalling that Shakhtar had previously been able to pass after they also lost home in the first match with a score of 0: 1.

Interesting facts - Manchester United won all six home matches in the current European Cup season.

- Celta out of the last four away games in the European League three won with a score of 2: 0.

- Celta in the current draw of the League of Europe invariably scores on the road.

Approximate compositions of Manchester United: Romero - Valencia, Bayi, Blind, Darmian - Fellaini, Herrera, Pogba - Lingard, Rushford, Mkhitaryan.

Celta: Sergio - Malia, Cabral, Roncall, Honni - Radoya, Hernandez - Vass, Iago Aspas, Sisto - Guidetti.

Will not play: Shaw, Ibrahimovic, Rojo, Fosu-Mensa, Young-Rossi, Planas.

Words by Jose Mourinho, coach of Manchester United:.

"Trophies are very important for our club, but we must first get to the finals. Manchester United has never won this tournament, and we will try to fill the gap in the club museum. In addition, the victory in the Euro-tournament will be very important for our young players, to give them confidence in new tournaments. We will fight with all our strength for the victory and do everything possible to get it ".

Eduardo Berizzo, mentor Celta:.

"I guess that Manchester United will not act on the result in the first fight, but will try to win this match. This is a unique team that plays the stronger, the higher the pressure on it. But for us the main thing is to play our game and reach the final. I know that at Old Trafford we will be supported by our 3000 fans. We will try to make sure that they do not regret about such a long journey ".
