Manchester United play their final Europa League league match against FCSB in Bucharest tonight, aiming to secure a top eight finish and progress automatically to the last 16.
A win would guarantee United go through and avoid a two-legged play-off next month. They could stay in the top eight or drop out if they draw or lose, depending on results elsewhere.
United are unbeaten in their seven European ties this season, having won four and drawn three. FCSB-United is the only match between teams in the top 12.

Here are five things to look out for in Romania this evening:
How will Amorim rotate?
There were five changes to the United team against Rangers a week ago and another five changes three days later at Fulham. Ruben Amorim has had some painful teething problems during weeks where United are playing twice and he has over-rotated at times.
As important as it is that United automatically qualify for the last 16, they are in a secure enough position that Amorim could justify making another five changes. Altay Bayindir, Leny Yoro, Toby Collyer and Joshua Zirkzee are among those in line for recalls.
Victory even in defeat?
United are fourth in the Europa League table, the top eight qualify automatically for the last 16, and teams as far down as 12th can overtake United.
Amorim's side have a modest goal difference of +5. Olympiakos, 12th, are three points behind with a goal difference of +3 and host Qarabag, third from bottom in the 32-team table. So if United lost, the 12th-placed side could easily leapfrog them.
United could draw in Bucharest and go through or drop into the play-offs if results go against them. They could also lose and stay in the top eight if results go in their favour. FCSB-United is the only match between teams in the top 12 and eight teams could go above United if they win.
The simple maths is three points would guarantee a top-eight finish for United.
Unbeaten run to continue?
United have not won three matches in succession across competitions all season and a win in Romania would represent another baby step for this squad of misfits. United are unbeaten in their seven Europa League matches this term and have won their past four, not coincidentally since they sacked Erik ten Hag. United were involved in eventful draws with Twente, Porto and Fenerbahce under the Dutchman.
Dalot and Mazraoui's last dance?
United are progressing with a deal for the Lecce left back Patrick Dorgu and his arrival, as well as the return to fitness of Luke Shaw, could spell the end of the Diogo Dalot-Noussair Mazraoui experiment on the wings.
Mazraoui has been a decent signing for United but barely attacks more than Aaron Wan-Bissaka and he has looked more accomplished in a back three under Amorim. It feels a trick of the mind that Ten Hag played Mazraoui as the No.10 in Istanbul three months ago.
Dalot has the attacking capabilities but his end product has been lacking for too long. Dorgu is versatile enough to play on the left wing and United need a natural left-footer there.
Nervy or nerveless night?
United are yet to have a convincing win in the Europa League. PAOK wasted a fine chance with United only 1-0 up, Bodo/Glimt ran them close in a 3-2 defeat when they were 2-1 up, United came from behind to win with a late goal at Viktoria Plzen and Bruno Fernandes popped up in the 92nd minute to defeat Rangers.
