FCSB vs Manchester United LIVE: Latest team news and build up ahead of key Europa League clash

“We are facing very difficult opponents and we need to play at our best.

“Manchester United are one of the biggest teams in the world with great players. I consider this the most important match of my career so far and we will do everything to win.

“The squad are in good shape, motivated and fuelled by the fact we are here, playing at this level and with a real chance to go further in this competition.”

That is a question being asked of Ruben Amorim who says that Rashford needs to give his maximum to earn his place back.

Amorim said: “Again, the situation is the same as with every player. Last time, I talked about him. In the last game, my sentence was that I will not put any player in who won’t give the maximum.

“I didn’t say I would not put Marcus Rashford in. It’s the same situation. When I feel it’s the right moment, I will put any player in to play again.

“We are a better team with Marcus Rashford. That is clear. he is a big talent but, until the right moment, I will not change my mind.

“That is all. Always the same answer.”

Andre Onana spoke about the momentum Manchester United are building after consecutive wins over Rangers and Fulham.

“We have to enjoy it because at the end of the day when things are going good everyone is happy,” Onana told MUTV.

“It’s what we want because we are Manchester United and we are under the obligation to give everything on the pitch.

“Hopefully this game [vs Fulham] was the turning point and from here we move on.”

Goalkeeper Andre Onana hopes Manchester United’s 1-0 win at Fulham proves a “turning point” in their season.

Lisandro Martinez’s 78th-minute strike earned Ruben Amorim’s side victory at Craven Cottage on Sunday, lifting them up to 12th in the Premier League table.

Defender Martinez’s deflected long-range effort was almost cancelled out in the final minutes by Joachim Andersen, but a crucial block on the line by 21-year-old Toby Collyer ensured United held on.

FCSB have lost just three of their last 22 home group stage matches in the Europa League with 11 wins and eight draws.

They are unbeaten in all three this season (two wins, one draw).

Manchester United have won five of their six meetings with Romanian sides in all competitions.

However, their last such match ended in a 1-0 home defeat to CFR Cluj in the 2012-13 Champions League.

This is FCSB’s first ever meeting with Manchester United.

They’ve lost each of their last seven games against English sides by an aggregate score of 20-2.

Manchester United and Marcus Rashford are facing up to a period where one of their best-paid stars is in the cold for months, as a suitable move has yet to present itself and only Juventus looks like a possible option this January.

The club have fielded a number of informal enquiries for the forward since he announced he was open to leaving in December, but Rashford wants to ensure any move is one that fits his preferences.

Of tonight’s opponents, the Man Utd coach said: I know they’re a strong team and can score a lot of goals from set-pieces.

“They can win matches without much possession. They’re a really smart team and we have to perform well to win the game.

“We study the team to prepare for this game. Like I said, sometimes it’s a team that’s a little bit different in Europe.

“Without so much possession, they can score from set-pieces, with one striker who is really fast in transition.

“[David] Miculescu, left foot, is really strong. The two centre-backs are very strong on duels and the two full-backs go up and down until the 90 minutes.

“We’ll be prepared for that, I’m sure my team are prepared to fight for the win.”
