The Red Devils are languishing towards the bottom of the newly formed League table with three draws from three games, the last coming in a 1-1 draw with Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce.

Still, Erik ten Hag has since been sacked and Ruud van Nistelrooy placed in interim charge until Ruben Amorim officially takes over on Monday 11 November.

The Van Nistelrooy era began with an impressive 5-2 win over Carabao Cup, before a draw with Chelsea on Sunday to leave them 13th in the Premier League table.

Manchester United vs PAOK team news

Man United will have Bruno Fernandes available again, after he served a one-match suspension and missed the draw with Fenerbahce.

Kobbie Mainoo and Harry Maguire are both pushing to return from injury, but this match could come too soon. Luke Shaw, Mason Mount and Leny Yoro are among those who remain out.

Goals remain a problem for United and Van Nistelrooy has a choice to make up front, with neither Rasmus Hojlund or Joshua Zirkzee impressing in recent appearances.

PAOK have former United youngster Shola Shoretire in their ranks.

Manchester United vs PAOK prediction

United have been a pretty tough watch in Europe thus far but look relatively revitalised under Van Nistelrooy.

Confidence has been lifted somewhat since the change in manager and the hosts should have enough to finally secure their first Europa League win of the season.

The two teams have never played.
