End of match
-
90+6'FT: Viktoria Plzen 1-2 Man United. A shocking error in defence gave the hosts the lead. Onana's pass to Dalot caught the Portuguese off guard as Sulc took advantage of the pair's miscommunication to serve Vydra, who had an empty net in front of him. But Rasmus Hojlund's entrance from the bench changed everything for Amorim's side. The Danish striker found the equaliser just past the hour mark. With two minutes plus added time left, Hojlund struck the winner from Bruno Fernandes' short free-kick.

PRVWWith that all settled let's have a look at the possible lineups!!!!
-
PRVW"Just Jonny Evans is recovering," Amorim told 'MUTV' ahead of the game. "I think the rest of the guys are ready to play. That is a good sign. All of our staff did a great job [in] recovering the players. We are, at this moment, managing the load. They are getting fitter and we get stronger with that. It was good to train with all the guys. We don't have time but we have a lot of players to choose".
-
PRVWAs for Man United, Victor Lindelof made his return to the squad from a hamstring injury suffered last month. Defenders Luke Shaw and Johnny Evans did not make the team, but the latter is getting closer and closer to making his comeback and could push to feature in the derby against Man City on Sunday.
-
PRVWBut the hosts will be without a trio of strikers this evening as Jan Sykora, Christophe Kabongo and Rafiu Durosinmi are all sidelined, while Prince Kwabena Adu is back available after reportedly being out due to personal reasons. Elsewhere, defender Svetozar Markovic was hospitalised with an injury sustained in the weekend victory over Karvina, but has returned to the squad.
-
PRVWViktoria Plzen will also be feeling their chances after claiming successive wins in their last two outings in the tournament. The Czechs are level on points with their visitors but sit behind them on goal difference.
-
PRVWVictory would take the Red Devils to 12 points, thus within the top-eight spot. Teams that qualify within the top eight positions get to qualify directly for the knockout rounds without having to play an extra match in the playoffs.
-
PRVWUnited's latest win in the Europa League, came in a thrilling match against Bodo/Glimt (3-2) at the Theatre of Dreams, which pushed them up to 12th place with 9 points accumulated from 5 games.
-
PRVW"When you lose one game is really hard for everybody, I can understand that. But we have to keep going. We need to continue to focus on our performance. We need to improve a lot of aspects of our game," he added after the defeat to Forest.
-
PRVWAmorim had warned fans that tough moments lay ahead, but urged patience in what will be "a long journey".
-
PRVWUnited are also in desperate need of a win to lift the mood at the club, as Amorim's strong start at the helm suffered a set-back following successive defeats in the Premier League. A 2-0 defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates was followed by another 3-2 loss at home to Nottingham Forest, which ended the Portuguese's brief unbeaten run at Old Trafford.
-
PRVWThe Red Devils are back to European action this evening as they seek to claim back-to-back wins in the UEL, which would get them closer to qualification into the last 16.
