The UEFA Europa League is back in our lives as we approach the final two set of fixtures for every team remaining in the competition. Whether they are already eliminated, already qualified or fighting for their lives, we’re expecting to see a lot of drama over the course of the next few days – especially at Old Trafford where Manchester United will play host to FC Sheriff.
Manchester United
Manchester United are slowly but surely starting to find something resembling form under Erik ten Hag but as we know, we’ve been here before. It’s tough to tell whether it’s a false dawn but only time will be able to give us the answer, and with even more ambitious plans in the next few transfer windows, we’d say it’s worth keeping an eye on what the Red Devils are doing.
Team News
A parade of fresh injuries are waiting for the home side here with Martial, van de Beek, Varane, Maguire and Wan-Bissaka all being ruled out.
FC Sheriff
When you’re sitting pretty at the top of your domestic league and you’re starting to put Moldova on the map in Europe, we’d say you’re doing pretty well. Sheriff are best known as the team that managed to defeat Real Madrid in the Champions League last season and this time around, they are once again giving a respectable account of themselves as their profile continues to grow.
Team News
Zohouri is out through suspension but aside from that, the visitors have no injury concerns to deal with.
Factors to Consider
- In their last meeting in September, Man United beat Sheriff 2-0.
- Man United have won four and drawn two of their last six games.
- Sheriff have won three and lost three of their last six games.
- Man United have scored nine goals and conceded four in their last six games.
- Sheriff have scored nine goals and conceded seven in their last six games.
Conclusion
Manchester United have had trouble in pretty much every game they’ve played in this competition so far this season and that isn’t an exaggeration, but even with that being the case, we still think they’ll be too strong here. They’ll have a similar problem that they did when they were last at home in the UEL in terms of goalscoring, but they should eventually edge out a 1-0 win – and wouldn’t it be something if Ronaldo scored?
