The Europa League clash between Fenerbahce and Manchester United promises to be an engaging encounter, drawing significant attention from fans and analysts alike. Both teams have demonstrated varying levels of performance in their respective leagues, which adds a layer of unpredictability to the match . As Fenerbahce seeks to capitalize on home advantage, Manchester United will aim to assert their dominance as a historically successful club in European competitions.
Can Manchester United claim their first victory of this season's Europa League? So far, the Red Devils have been held to a pair of draws in this competition, first conceding a comically lackadaisical equaliser as Twente departed Old Trafford with a point. A week later, they led 2-0 inside 20 minutes against Porto, only to completely collapse, conceded three times in 23 minutes, therefore going behind, before Harry Maguire's injury time header snatched a dramatic draw at Estádio do Dragão.
Now, Mourinho has an excellent chance to turn things around as he faces his former team Manchester United on Thursday. His departure from the club was a tumultuous one in 2018 after he constantly bickered with the management.
Man Utd’s trajectory over the last couple of years perhaps proved Mourinho’s point. The Europa League title Mourinho won there in 2017 remains the biggest trophy the club has won since legend Sir Alex Ferguson left in 2013.
Fenerbahçe predicted lineup vs Manchester United: (4-2-3-1): Livaković; Müldür, Becão, Djiku, Oosterwolde; Amrabat, Fred, Tadić, Szymański, Can Kahveci; En-Nesyri.
Manchester United predicted lineup vs Fenerbahçe: (4-2-3-1): Onana, Dalot, de Ligt, Lindelöf, Martínez; Ugarte, Casemiro, Eriksen; Garnacho, Rashford, Højlund.
United will be without Bruno Fernandes but considering his form this season, that may be a blessing in disguise. Fenerbahçe just lost their starting left back Jayden Oosterwolde to injury. The defensive deficiencies of their full-backs have already been one of their biggest weaknesses so far this season. Losing their best full-back will only make them more vulnerable to the speed and dynamism of Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho. It would require a minor miracle for United to not score at least once on Thursday.
Manchester United tied both of their Europa League games so far. A third one without a win would put Ten Hag on the thinnest of ices. He has enough talent on his side to avoid that fate in Istanbul.
