Athletic Bilbao Vs. Manchester United, 2012 Europa League: Lineups

Athletic Bilbao take on Premier League giants Manchester United in the second leg of their Europa league clash. Having won the first leg 3-2 - and really, it should have been by a wider margin than that - Athletic are in a fantastic position to advance. They played brilliant football at Old Trafford, and if they do the same here, United are almost certainly out. That said, Sir Alex Ferguson always has a few tricks up his sleeve...

Athletic Bilbao starting lineup (4-3-3): Gorka Iraizoz; Andoni Iraola, Javi Martinez, Fernando Amorebieta, Jon Aurtenetxe; Ander Iturraspe, Ander Herrera, Oscar de Marcos; Markel Susaeta, Fernando Llorente, Iker Muniain.

Substitutes from: Raul Fernandez, Gaizka Toquero, Borja Ekiza, Mikel San Jose, David Lopez, Inigo Perez, Ibai Gomez.

Manchester United starting lineup (4-5-1): David de Gea; Rafael da Silva, Jonny Evans, Rio Ferdinand, Patrice Evra; Park Ji-Sung, Michael Carrick, Tom Cleverley, Ryan Giggs, Ashley Young; Wayne Rooney.

Substitutes from: Ben Amos, Chris Smalling, Fabio da Silva, Paul Scholes, Paul Pogba, Javier Hernandez, Danny Welbeck.
