Manchester United are preparing for a tricky Premier League fixture at Stamford Bridge this Friday as they continue their uphill battle to climb the table.
After a string of disappointing league results, the Red Devils are currently stuck in 16th place and haven’t tasted victory in their last seven Premier League games.
The Europa League final looms large on the horizon, offering a chance for Ruben Amorim’s side to salvage what has been a difficult season so far.

With the final just days away, many expect some rotation from Amorim to keep key players fresh for the big occasion.
Chelsea head into the clash aiming to strengthen their own bid for Champions League qualification next season.
The match will take place on Friday, 16 May at 8:15 p.m. BST.
The Blues had appeared to hit form at exactly the right time, having won four and drawn two of their previous six league matches before being stopped by a 2-0 defeat to Newcastle last weekend.
Rising stars Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernandez have been bright sparks in recent weeks, giving Chelsea fans hope of a strong finish to the campaign.

However, Chelsea will be without a number of important players on Friday.
Christopher Nkunku remains sidelined, Wesley Fofana’s season is over with a muscle injury, and Malo Gusto and Marc Guiu are out with hamstring problems expected to see them return only in May.
Nicolas Jackson will miss the match through suspension.
Notably, Jadon Sancho, who is currently on loan from Manchester United, will be ineligible to play against his parent club.
Manchester United will be keen to capitalise on these absences as they seek to arrest their poor league form and build momentum ahead of the Europa League final.
The trip to Stamford Bridge promises to be a crucial test ahead of what could be a season-defining week for Amorim’s men.
