Everyone knows how important these games are to United and their remarkably terrible campaign but as the final will take place at the San Mames, Ernesto Valverde will want to see his team make it to that home final.

Bournemouth v Man Utd Preview

Should we even bother?

Bournemouth are better than us. Far better. Even though they've had a dip in form, they are still better than the 14th-placed side in the league. Even had we had our strongest XI available, going to the Vitality Stadium is always a tough task.

Man Utd v Wolves Preview

A dead rubber?

This preview is being done before that game against Lyon so hopefully we haven't cocked up and our season is still alive. I'm going for a wedding this weekend so it has to be done now. But that is why I say this fixture against Wolves could be a non-event.

Man Utd v Lyon Preview

BIGGEST game in a while

After a decent but what turned out to be a disappointing draw in France (thanks Onana), United do sit in a relatively strong position to make it through. The fact that this second leg is at Old Trafford gives us more of an advantage.
