Teams are out.
Prev.
United can take a step closer to qualifying and could secure at least a third finish with a win. They will have to better the 2-1 in Istanbul.
Prev.
United beat Leipzig 5-0 the last time they played in the Champions League at Old Trafford. They will be hoping for more of that tonight?

Prev.
Cavani gets his first start for United tonight. They will be looking to get revenge on Istanbul for the last match.
