Latest team News: Man United vs Celta Vigo

It's match day! We welcome Celta Vigo at Old Trafford in a do or die knock-out tie with a place in the final at stake. We have all the latest team news for you...

The boss confirmed yesterday in his press conference that 24 players took part in training at Carrington and several youth players: Axel Tuanzebe, Demi Mitchell, Matty Willock and Matthew Olosunde also trained with the first team.

Apart from the five players we reported are out, everyone else is "ready and fresh" according to the boss.

"Since the last injuries, we know that nobody will recover on time, even to play the last match of the season, so the ones out will be out for the season.

"But people are ready, fresh, with a big desire to play the game.

"I am proud because we have important injuries that have reduced the possibility of rotation, of turnover, of resting players, so the players are the ones that are present all the time since we have this problem. So, yes, I’m proud, but one more match to be in a European final – we must give everything we have."

Mourinho also lamented on the fixture pile up that has allegedly hampered the team's progress saying, "The situation is simple. Seventeen matches in seven weeks with 16 players is impossible. It's not a gamble, it was a simple decision, based on common sense.

"In April and May, 17 matches with 16 players, is completely impossible.

"So, since the moment we lost players, and we lost initially four of them in one week when we lost [Chris] Smalling and [Phil] Jones from the national team and we lost Zlatan and Rojo against Anderlecht in that moment and, after that, we lost boys that could be good alternatives - Ashley Young, Luke Shaw, Tim Fosu-Mensah.

"So, when we lost these players in a period of 17 matches in seven weeks, it was an impossible job. It was not a gamble, just a consequence of our situation.

"We are in this situation now and we have to fight for it, so let's see if tomorrow we can do it and if we can go to the final.

"But it doesn't matter what, no regrets. We are giving everything we can, the players, myself, everyone that works around here. We are giving everything so, when you give everything, no problem."

Celta Vigo preparations continue...

The Spaniards train at Old Trafford ahead of tonight's clash.

Celta Vigo coach is prepared for a backlash when the whistle blows and reckons United will not be fazed by the high expectations tonight.

Celta boss Eduardo Berizzo and midfielder Pablo Hernandez spoke to the media.

"I'm expecting a United side to come out and try to win the game tomorrow night."

"Manchester United is a team that have grown up with pressure and they deal with it on a day to day basis. We have to concentrate on our game and what we do."

Midfielder Pablo Hernandez echoed his manager's remarks and revealed they'd try to cope with United's physicality that was so tough to handle in Spain.

"Manchester United proved [in the first leg] they were strong physically and in attack too. We know the speed of their attack and we need to be more physical."
