Rangers manager Philippe Clement has warned Manchester United that his team will travel to Old Trafford for Thursday night's Europa League clash with the ambition of attempting "to do something special".

Rangers will lock horns United for the first time since 2010 with the ambition of moving above their hosts in the Europa League standings. The Gers are currently one point and one place behind the Reds with two games of the league phase left to play.

The Scottish outfit sit eighth having won three, drawn two and lost one, whereas United have won three and drawn three and lie seventh with the top eight automatically progressing to the last-16 of the competition.

Despite United's uninspiring form of late, they will head into the all-British clash as favourites and potentially seal their spot in the next stage of the competition. However, Gers boss Clement has every intention of overseeing a huge scalp.

"I want pressure, to be very clear," Clement said. "I want pressure. I want pressure on the team. I want my team to be ambitious. And if we are somewhere, that we have higher ambitions to make it better. So, that's what we're going to do.

"The team has worked really hard to be in a good position in this Europa League. They did really well in this Europa League. We know what Manchester United are. We know their level. But we're going to go there to fight and to show ourselves and to do something really special. That's our ambition, to go there and to do something special."

Rangers warmed up for Thursday's trip south with a 5-0 win over Fraserburgh in the Scottish Cup on Sunday afternoon. That secured a third successive win and extended their unbeaten run to seven matches.
