Match predictions & preview
The pressure is piling on Erik ten Hag as his side has not produced any positive results recently. Since drawing at home to FC Twente last week Man Utd were beaten convincingly at home by Spurs on Sunday, so it is crucial that the manager can get a tune out of his team on Thursday night.
Kobbie Mainoo has been pictured in training and appears to have shrugged off any injury sustained over the weekend. Captain Bruno Fernandes has had his red card from Sunday’s game rescinded so he will be available to play in all of the forthcoming fixtures beyond the Porto game which is a huge boost. ‘The Red Devils’ are really struggling to score goals so it may be time for the manager to reintroduce striker Rasmus Hojlund to the starting eleven after only appearing as a substitute in recent games.
Thursday’s opponents FC Porto lost their opening Champions League game against Bodo/Glimt so they too will be hungry to come away with all three points. Despite that loss, the Portuguese side is doing well domestically having won five out of their six matches so far with their only loss coming to league leaders, Sporting Lisbon.
We expect a close and cagey game at the Estadio do Dragao with the home side coming away with the victory.
