Is Man Utd v Rangers on TV? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Europa League fixture | OneFootball

Manchester United host Rangers in the Europa League with the home side looking to take a step closer to securing qualification for the next round of the competition.

Ruben Amorim’s side fell to a chastening defeat to Brighton at the weekend, leading the manager to declare this as the worst Manchester United side in history.

But they remain seventh in the Europa League league phase table, just one position above the play-off places, and take on a Rangers side who are just one point below them in eighth, with both fighting to stay in the automatic qualification places.

Rangers’ title challenge may have fallen away domestically, but they were in the final of this competition as recently as 2022 and will be looking to repeat the heroics of that season.

Here’s everything you need to know.

Team news

United have no new injury concerns after the loss to Brighton, though Luke Shaw, Victor Lindelof and Mason Mount all remain sidelined.

Amorim may opt to rest some players in key positions, with Toby Collyer and Christian Eriksen potentially starting in midfield.

In attack, Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund could return, while it is unknown whether Amorim would want to use Tyrell Malacia and Antony with both reportedly on the verge of loan move.

For Rangers, goalkeeper Jack Butland remains out, as do John Souttar, Neraysho Kasanwirjo and Danilo, who suffered an injury last week against Aberdeen. However, captain James Tavernier should be available after making his return at the weekend in the Scottish Cup.

Man Utd XI: Onana; de Ligt, Maguire, Martinez; Mazraoui, Collyer, Mainoo, Dalot; Amad, Fernandes; Hojlund.
