A Europa League fixture is taking place this Thursday, with FC Sheriff taking on Manchester United. It should be a great fixture - so here's everything you need to know about it.

Erik ten Hag will be desperate to obtain a result in this fixture after a bitterly disappointing start to his European campaign at Old Trafford. The Red Devils were left defeated by a Real Sociedad side spearheaded by a fantastic David Silva performance on his return to Manchester.

The home side on the other hand started off their Europa League campaign in great fashion, emerging 3 - 0 winners against Omonia Nicosia - seeing them now sit comfortably at the top of the group.

Let's waste no time and get into things. Here's all the information you need to know regarding the fixture between FC Sheriff and Manchester United.

The home side have been blessed with little to no injury woes coming into this tie, however, a big blow will be the fact that their usual starter keeper, Dumitru Celeadnic, will be absent thanks to a positive Covid-19 test.

Manchester United have three that will definitely be out. Anthony Martial, Facundo Pellistri and Brandon Williams are all nursing injuries. Donny van de Beek is in contention to start, however, his fitness is also questionable after picking up a knock and not playing for the majority of the campaign.

Sheriff Predicted XI: Koval; Zohouri, Kiki, Radeljic, Kpozo; Badolo, Kyabou, Diop; Ouattara, Atiemwen, Akanbi

Manchester United Predicted XI: De Gea; Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Malacia; Eriksen, Casemiro; Antony, Fernandes, Sancho; Rashford


Head to Head

These two sides have never met before! So this is a completely fresh fixture, which makes it even more exciting.

Despite the loss in the first game of their European campaign, United really should be triumphing in this one.

Prediction: FC Sheriff 0 - 3 Manchester United
