Aspas, who scored just once during two years at Anfield between 2013 and 2015, has been prolific this season with 25 goals for club and country in all competitions.

Mourinho has told his players to treat tomorrow’s semi-final second leg as the biggest game in United’s history to avoid complacency.
He said: “In terms of motivation, we are even. For Celta, in their words, it’s the most important match of their history and my feeling is it’s also the most important match of our history.
“It doesn’t matter what happened before, what matters is the next one.”

Mourinho also called on Old Trafford to make some noise.

“I could feel the match against Chelsea, it was a very strong Old Trafford.
“But we had a match against Anderlecht where the stadium was not warm enough.”
