Match preview
Manchester United are one of five teams yet to lose a game in the Europa League this season and can take a step towards qualifying for the knockout stages with a win over Rangers.
Three draws and three wins put the Red Devils at the top of the automatic places with 12 points.
And with opponents Rangers and Premier League rivals Tottenham breathing down their necks, Ruben Amorim must get his players over the line against the Scots.
It hasn’t been easy for the home team in any competition this season, but they are still favorites to win the Europa League this year.
Having beaten Viktoria Plzen last time out and Bodo/Glimt before that, Amorim’s men have regained some momentum, but it was never going to be an easy game against Rangers.
Despite their poor league form in Scotland this season, the Glasgow giants are capable of matching anyone on their day and have already drawn against Spurs.
If they bring energy to Old Trafford, Philippe Clement’s side have a great chance of following in the footsteps of Wolves and Brighton and picking up three points.
