Prediction: 1-1
Villarreal
Old Trafford will host Wednesday’s Champions League game between Manchester United and Villarreal, the two teams, who faced each other in the Europa League final last season. The Yellows defeated the Red Devils on penalties back then, meaning that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s troops are hungry for revenge. Speaking of the Norwegian tactician, he feels pressure following a shocking 1-0 loss to Aston Villa where Bruno failed to convert a penalty in the stoppage time.
A man to watch in the home team will be returnee Cristiano Ronaldo, while Marcus Rashford remains in the recovery room. Anyhow, the hosts are desperate to make amends for a shocking 2-1 loss to Young Boys in their opener. Luke Shaw is a major doubt, while Wan-Bissaka is banned. Villarreal played out a 2-2 draw with Atalanta in their opener, and seeing that they managed to hold Real Madrid to a draw at the weekend, the share of spoils is on the cards at Old Trafford. Gerard Moreno is injured for the visitors, as well as Chukwueze and Raba.
