Team news
Celta Vigo will have to face this match without three players: Giuseppe Rossi, Rubén Blanco and Carles Planas. The Italian's absence will be one that Los Celestes are going to miss the most, considering his experience and skills, which have been used frequently by coach Eduardo Berizzo to boost their talented frontline that includes Iago Aspas and Johan Guidetti.
On the other side of the pitch, Jose Mourinho has been struggling with injuries to some of his best players. One of those absences will be Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who may have played his final game for the Red Devils after tearing his ACL in the return leg of their Quarter-final match against Anderlecht. Furthermore, Marcos Rojo and Luke Shaw will most likely miss the rest of the season, while Paul Pogba and Juan Mata may play a role for the Red Devils in Thursday's clash.
