The Nigeria international forward will be absent when the Belgians lock horns with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men on Thursday

Club Brugge have confirmed that Emmanuel Dennis will not play a part in Thursday’s Europa League clash at Manchester United.

The Nigeria international suffered an injury in Sunday’s 1-0 win over Sporting Charleroi at Jan Breydelstadion.

As a result, he has not been picked among the 22-man squad for the showdown at Old Trafford alongside captain Ruud Vormer.
