Our prediction for this Europa League match:
David faces Goliath at Old Trafford as Manchester United and Omonia go head to head in the Europa League round 4. The Red Devils came from behind to beat Omonia 3-2 in Cyprus, with the Premier League team moving one step closer to booking their place in the last 16, but they do not want to stop now. Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored the winner against Everton as a substitute, is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts, while Anthony Martial is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the Goodison Park triumph.
All Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, and Van de Beek are sidelined with injuries. The Cypriotes are not regarded as good travellers, and we do not believe that they are capable of claiming a major scalp at “the Theatre of Dreams”. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to England.
