How to watch and follow FC Porto v United
Thursday's Europa League match between FC Porto and Manchester United will be only the fourth time the Reds have played a competitive game at the Estadio do Dragao.

Harry Maguire was not involved on Sunday, due to sustaining a knock in training, and Leny Yoro and Luke Shaw remain out through injury.
