Our Manchester United fans here in the Transfer Tavern are looking forward to their latest European tie against St. Etienne tomorrow evening.

The Europa League round of 32 gets underway tomorrow as our punters here by the bar once again lap up some top continental football in the middle of the week.

Our United lot will be hoping that their side does the business against the French side at Old Trafford, too, with the winner of the competition getting qualification to the Champions League.

That could be vital with the race for the top four proving hugely dramatic in the Premier League at the moment and our landlord is expecting a strong side from Jose Mourinho tomorrow.

So, with that in mind, here are two players that must start against the Ligue 1 outfit…

Henrikh Mkhitaryan

It may be the Europa League and often we see changes come into sides but our landlord feels the Armenian has to start.

He’s bang in form at the moment and has finally begun to show how good he can be so keeping that up is going to be crucial for the rest of United’s season. If he can stay in this way for the rest of the year United could really go places but he needs to be given consistent playing time – in behind the striker.

Marcus Rashford

Another young England star that needs to make serious claims about his position is Marcus Rashford.

The young striker has been unlucky in seeing himself shunted out onto the flanks thanks to Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s arrival but games like this could present a good chance for him to remind us of what he can do. United need to have one eye on a plan after Zlatan leaves and letting Rashford go in these games would surely help them establish that.
