Team News: Saint-Etienne Vs Man. United

Jose Mourinho has selected a strong Manchester United team to finish the job against Saint-Etienne and earn a place in Friday’s Europa League Round of 16 draw.

The boss knows the Reds are in a commanding position after the 3-0 first-leg win, courtesy of a Zlatan Ibrahimovic hat-trick, but he is refusing to think ahead to Sunday's EFL Cup final against Southampton.

Sergio Romero retains his place in goal and Ashley Young is also rewarded for an impressive performance at Blackburn Rovers in the Emirates FA Cup last time out. Marouane Fellaini adds a bit of steel to the midfield while Paul Pogba will be determined to put on a show against his older brother Florentin. The pair were notably spotting chatting on the pitch ahead of kick-off with United icon Sir Bobby Charlton.

United: Romero; Young, Bailly, Smalling, Blind; Carrick, Fellaini; Mata, Pogba, Mkhitaryan; Ibrahimovic.
Subs: De Gea, Valencia, Rojo, Schweinsteiger, Lingard, Martial, Rashford.

Saint-Etienne: Ruffier, Malcuit, Theophile-Catherine, Perrin, Pogba, Veretout, Pajot, Hamouma, Saivet, Monnet-Paquet, Beric.
Subs: Moulin, Lacroix, Lemoine, Pierre-Gabriel, Selnaes, Jorginho, Roux.
