Antonio Valencia and Cameron Borthwick-Jackson have been included in Louis van Gaal's Manchester United squad for tonight's Europa League clash with Liverpool.

However, Daley Blind and Ander Herrera, who sat alongside Van Gaal in yesterday's pre-match press conference are out. Seventeen-year-old RoShaun Williams retains his place after earning his first-team promotion at the weekend.

Valencia made his comeback for the Under-21s against Liverpool last week, having been sidelined since October with a foot injury.

Borthwick-Jackson has not played in three weeks but was part of the 18-man squad that arrived at The Lowry Hotel on Thursday morning.

United trail Liverpool 2-0 after last week's Anfield surrender and, with the chances of a top four finish looking remote, the Europa League is Van Gaal's best chance of qualifying for the Champions League and safeguarding his job.

Van Gaal's United have won their previous two matches at home against Liverpool 3-0 and 3-1, while the Merseysiders have triumphed in just one of their last eight games at Old Trafford.

United squad: De Gea, Romero, Valencia, Darmian, Varela, Smalling, Williams, Borthwick-Jackson, Rojo, Schneiderlin, Schweinsteiger, Fellaini, Carrick, Lingard, Mata, Memphis, Martial, Rashford
