Scott McTominay, who hadn’t featured for almost two months and didn’t make it on last week’s trip to Belgium, came on as a substitute during our 3-0 win over Watford on Sunday.

Assuming he got through that 10-minute cameo unscathed, he could be in the manager’s thoughts for Thursday's game at Old Trafford.

Another player who missed our 1-1 first-leg draw at the Jan Breydel Stadium is Mason Greenwood. That was through illness, yet this time the Reds are waiting for news on the youngster’s fitness, after he limped off with cramp shortly after scoring our third goal against the Hornets.
