Jose Mourinho wants to win the Europa League to give this season a perfect finale - but he will have to overcome Anderlecht tonight first.
Manchester United looked like they were strolling into the semi-finals after Henrikh Mkhitaryan handed them the lead and an away goal in Belgium.
But a late equaliser makes it all to play for at Old Trafford - with kick off at 8.05pm.
"I think it would be the perfect finale for us," Mourinho said.
“A perfect end of season for us – a difficult season, lots of matches, fighting in every competition trying to build a team, recovering a certain mentality.
“To play in a European final, despite it being the second competition would be perfect for us."
Manchester United Starting XI: Romero, Valencia, Bailly, Rojo, Shaw, Pogba, Carrick, Rasford, Lingard, Mkhitaryan, Ibrahimovic
