Manchester United face FC Porto next in a crucial Europa League clash.
This fixture is set to take place this Thursday at Porto’s Estadio do Dragao.
After drawing their opening Europa League match against Twente, United will be eager to secure all three points at one of Europe’s more challenging venues.
Porto, despite winning six of their first seven league games this season, also stumbled in their first Europa League outing, losing 3-2 to Bodo Glimt.
However, Porto’s manager, Vitor Bruno, will be confident heading into the match, especially with United under significant pressure.
Erik ten Hag’s side is reeling from a humiliating 3-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, and the Dutchman needs to turn things around quickly to keep his job.
A tactical shakeup seems likely, with ten Hag’s current setup struggling to deliver consistent performances.
Both clubs are desperate for a win, with more than just points on the line for United.
This promises to be an intense battle.
Historically, Manchester United and FC Porto have met eight times.
United have won three, Porto have won two, and the remaining three ended in draws.
These fixture have been played over four two-legged ties, both sides are evenly matched, having won two apiece.
