Red Devils face defensive headache tonight
Ruben Amorim is likely to be without four defenders at Chelsea tonight.
Diogo Dalot, Matthijs de Ligt, Ayden Heaven and Leny Yoro are injured.
But United boss Amorim says at least one of them could “possibly” be fit for Wednesday’s Europa League final with Tottenham.
He said: "I don’t know [my team for the final]. I know the starting XI I am thinking for Chelsea, then I will see.
“Even the way we play there, against Chelsea, I will see it and it’s going to be important for the next one.”

But ex-England and Aston Villa frontman Gabriel Agbonlahor reckons WEST HAM would be a far better option.
Agbonlahor believes the former England Under-21 ace should take time to develop his game - before risking the cauldron of a club like the Red Devils.
He said: “If I was him, I wouldn’t be going there.
"I wouldn’t stay at Ipswich, I’d go to West Ham, go and prove yourself at West Ham, the next step.
"They need a striker, Evan Ferguson will go back to Brighton, it hasn’t worked out.”
LaLiga rivals could beat Betis to Antony
Real Betis face missing out to a LaLiga rival for Manchester United loanee Antony.
That's the claim from Spain despite Betis' hunger to keep the Brazil winger.
Antony, 25, has been in sensational form since departing Old Trafford.
He's notched eight goals and two assists in 23 matches for Betis.
But the Spanish top-flight club are unlikely to qualify for the Champions League.
And that could reportedly tip the balance in favour of a LaLiga rival.

‘Liverpool and Gunners tipped to lead Nkunku race'
Liverpool and Arsenal will reportedly lead the race for Chelsea frontman Christopher Nkunku.
Manchester United and Bayern Munich were said to have shown interest in the Frenchman during the January transfer window.

Hernandez - known as Chicarito - scored 59 goals in 157 games for the Red Devils.
Ferdinand told TNT Sports Mexico: "Chicharito, I love him, what a guy..
"I wish he stayed at United longer. I think it was a big mistake for United to sell him, crazy to sell him.
"I don't know why they did but he was a magnificent player and defenders couldn't defend against him."

In the Red
Ruben Amorim has bizarrely declared that his job would be easier if Manchester United LOST the Europa League final against Tottenham.
The former Sporting boss explained: "That is my feeling. We need more time with the team.
"We need to arrange a lot of things in Carrington that we need more time to do so we’re not thinking game by game by game.
"Then we have the squad. We proved this year that we need to be a better squad if we want to win European games and then be really competitive in the Premier League. That is going to be tough.
"It is going to be really bad [if United don’t win the final]. I don’t want to use that as an excuse.
"It is going to be really tough and the patience of the fans and you guys [the media] next year if we don’t win it is going to be on the limit."
