Manchester United return to action this Wednesday with a clash against FC Twente in what promises to be an intriguing encounter under the revamped UEFA Europa League format.
Like the UEFA Champions League, the UEFA Europa League has moved away from the traditional group stages, adopting the Swiss-style format.
This new system features a single 36-team league table, where each side plays four home and four away matches.
To qualify directly for the knockout stages, teams must finish in the top eight after these eight games.
Those finishing between ninth and 24th will need to navigate a playoff to reach the more familiar knockout rounds.
Erik ten Hag, has stressed the importance of aiming for trophies across all competitions.
When asked about his priorities, he remarked, “It’s about winning trophies.”
However, with a packed schedule ahead, ten Hag could view this match as an opportunity to rotate his squad.
The injury list is set to shrink with Luke Shaw, Mason Mount, and Victor Lindelof all nearing returns.
Rasmus Hojlund actually made his playing return this past weekend against Crystal Palace.
With key Premier League fixtures on the horizon, ten Hag will be eager to keep his squad fresh and avoid further setbacks.
Here are five players we expect to be recalled for the clash against FC Twente.
