Manchester United need to win another five Europa League games to lift the trophy for the first time in their history.

Jose Mourinho infamously turned his nose up at Rafael Benitez winning the competition after succeeding his nemesis in his second spell at Chelsea.

But, with the Reds passing up chance after chance to break into the top four, knockout football could yet prove the best route into the Champions League.

Skipper Wayne Rooney has not travelled to Brussels, but David De Gea was among the travelling party.

Although United are overwhelming favourites to win the competition, ahead of Lyon, Celta Vigo and Schalke, they will have to overcome a tricky trip to Brussels first.

Anderlecht are in a rich vein of form and have not been beaten at the Constant Vanden Stock Stadium since December.

Stick with us all for all the updates from Brussels as Mourinho and an unnamed player face the media.
