Zidane Iqbal has been named in the Manchester United squad to face Sevilla in the Europa League, its has been claimed.

Ten Hag's men are on the hunt for a treble this term. Having claimed the Carabao Cup in February - their first silverware of any kind in six years - United have the semi-final of the FA Cup to come later this month, while they compete in the first leg of the Europa League quarter final this evening.

However their opponents are Europa League royalty Sevilla, who have claimed the trophy on six occasions, including four times in the last nine years.

Recent wins over Brentford and Everton have steadied the ship for United after a patchy spell of form, and Ten Hag's men are strong favourites to dispatch Sevilla this evening.

The La Liga side are languishing in 13 in La Liga, just five points clear of the relegation zone, while Jose Luis Mendilibar is the club's third manager of the season, after the departures of Julen Lopetegui and Jorge Sampaoli.

Here is all the team news for tonight's encounter.

The United Stand have claimed Iqbal will be in the squad to face Sevilla this evening.

The report comes days after the midfielder joined SEG International, the same agency that represents Ten Hag.

SEG International announced Iqbal as their new client on Monday morning, with the 19-year-old having previously been represented by CAA Base.

The Manchester Evening News alleged that Iqbal was partly convinced to sign with SEG on the strength of their relationship with the United manager.

Elsewhere, Scott McTominay, Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw, Alejandro Garnacho, Donny van de Beek and Tom Heaton are all absent this evening through injury.

Casemiro is due to return to the fold, having completed a four-match domestic ban, while Christian Eriksen, who made his return from injury against Everton last weekend after ten weeks out, will also likely feature.

According to the United Stand, the other player "confirmed" for these evening's squad are as follows: "De Gea, Butland, Varane, Martinez, Maguire, Lindelof, Wan-Bissaka, Dalot, Malacia, Casemiro, Eriksen, Sabitzer, Fred, Iqbal, Bruno, Antony, Elanga, Sancho, Martial, Weghorst"
