The Europa League is back and the fixture taking place this Thursday sees Omonia Nicosia taking on Manchester United. It should be a great fixture – so here’s everything you need to know about it. 

The Red Devils suffered a heavy 6-3 defeat to arch-rivals Manchester City in the Premier League on the weekend, so they need a win in Europe to get momentum for their upcoming division games.

United have lost one and won one in the Europa League, so they need to get a win to help them in the Group as well.

This is a huge game for Omonia as they welcome a European giant to their stadium and it would be amazing if they could pick up a win on the night.
