Manchester United have confirmed that both Victor Lindelof and Toby Collyer are fit again and have been included in the team's travelling squad for the trip to Viktoria Plzen. The return of the duo will be a big boost to manager Amorim as he attempts to return his team to winning ways after a disappointing 3-2 defeat to Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Saturday at Old Trafford. Collyer will be hoping to make his first appearance under Amorim and his first for United since the 7-0 Carabao Cup win over Barnsley back in September.

Manchester United made a slow start to their Europa League campaign but have won their last two games against PAOK and Bodo/Glimt to move into 12th place in the group-stage table after five games played. Amorim will make history if the Red Devils do take home all three points as, bizarrely, no United manager has even won away to a Czech side. Plzen head into the game one spot below United in the table but with the same amount of points.

DID YOU KNOW?

The return of Lindelof and Collyer means that Jonny Evans and Luke Shaw are the only two senior absentees for Manchester United against Viktoria Plzen.

AFPWHAT NEXT FOR MAN UTD

United follow up their Europa League clash with two big games. The Red Devils head to neighbours Manchester City next in the Premier League and then face Tottenham in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup.
