Manchester United need a point from their match against Zorya tomorrow night to secure a place in the Europa League knockout stages.

Jose Mourinho is expected to name a strong line-up for the crucial tie but United have lost both of their away fixtures in the competition this season.

"Well the first match was difficult for us. It was also very difficult for Zorya," said Mourinho.

"I think tomorrow is more of the same. Difficult for us and also difficult for them.

"We know that it’s a crucial match for us. If we lose the match we can be out and you don’t want to be out. You want to go and win the competition.

"Zorya is out but they have a match to play and I believe that they are going to try and win the match as well.

"It’s difficult because we play Thursdays and then play Saturdays. We are never giving a Monday to have one more match to rest and prepare.

"It’s a difficult competition to play along with domestic competitions but we want to try and win it and while we are in the competition we try to win.

"We want to try and go as far as possible step by step."
