Man Utd v Rangers LIVE: Latest score and goal updates as British giants clash in Europa League

‘I get frustrated sometimes’ – Ruben Amorim clarifies his ‘worst Manchester United team’ comments

Manchester United host Rangers in the Europa League this evening, with Ruben Amorim’s side looking to take a step towards the last 16 at Old Trafford.

United lost 3-1 to Brighton last weekend and have little else to fight for in the league, but the Europa League offers a chance to salvage their season.

Winning the competition looks like United’s only hope of getting anywhere near European football next season and, while that looks a way off at present, Amorim will want to get through to the last 16 with minimal fuss.

United sit in seventh in the league phase table ahead of kick-off and they face a Rangers side who are one point and one place below them despite their domestic struggles.

Manchester United 0-0 Rangers

27 mins: More good work from Garnacho as the winger bends in an inviting cross into the six-yard box, but no-one is there to meet it.

You have to ask more of Zirkzee, there. Any proper number nine would know that that’s where you need to be.

24 mins: GOAL DISALLOWED! United have the ball in the net, but it won’t count!

Matthijs de Ligt nods home from a corner but the ref calls for a foul on Propper from Yoro.

Soft, to say the least. Rangers let off there.

Manchester United 0-0 Rangers

22 mins: CHANCE! United should be in front.

Garnacho is once again at the heart of United’s attacking proceedings.

He gets the ball pulled back to him in space and fires over the bar – with a deflection off a Rangers head proving pivotal.

16 mins: Collyer whips in a pretty poor delivery but it’s met by an equally inadequate clearance, allowing Garnarcho to pick the ball up and see what he can do.

The Argentinian side-steps his man and fires a curling effort over the bar.

A bright start by Rangers and, in particular, from Ridvan Yilmaz. The Turkey international has come close twice in the first 10 minutes. It may be the type of attacking threat Ruben Amorim would like to see from a left wing-back in the United side but, with the exception of Diogo Dalot’s barnstorming display at Anfield, he has had too rarely in his tenure. One interesting element of today’s selection is that Christian Eriksen is playing as one of the No 10s, with Bruno Fernandes deeper in midfield.

12 mins: CHANCE! Another big opening for the visitors.

Yilmaz runs into space in the box and latches onto a lofted delivery, with his side-footed volley parried away by Bayindir.

Perhaps it was too much of a safe shot from Yilmaz, who could’ve left Bayindir no chance if he put his foot through it. It also could’ve landed in Row Z, granted.

Manchester United 0-0 Rangers

10 mins: CHANCE! What an opportunity for Rangers to take a shock lead.

Collyer gets caught in possession and Igamane quickly slots through Raskin, who is one-on-one with Bayindir.

However, he gets the ball caught under him and can’t fire a shot away.

7 mins: First bit of space to run into for Cerny, but well defended by Leny Yoro.

5 mins: United’s attacking vigour once again comes through Garnacho, who drives into the box but is thwarted by a brilliant challenge by Balogun.

Eriksen then gets space down the right and delivers a low cross, Balogun there to clear once more.

The hosts dominating possession during the early stages.

3 mins: Garnacho dances in from the left wing and tries to bend one from inside the box, straight down the throat of Butland.

Early flashes of encouragement.
