Villarreal vs Manchester United LIVE: Red Devils attempt to reach the last-16 of the Champions League under the caretaker charge of Michael Carrick after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's dismissal

Manchester United will be looking to reach the last-16 of the Champions League when they face Villarreal, as they play for the first time since the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as manager.

Solskjaer was dismissed following Saturday's humiliating 4-1 defeat at Watford, with his assistant Michael Carrick taking caretaker charge.

In what has proved to be a competitive group, United will be boosted by qualification for the knockout stages if they win in Spain.
