Manchester United will be aiming to return to winning ways when they host PAOK in the Europa League tonight.

The Red Devils drew 1-1 with Chelsea in the Premier League last weekend. They could have easily won the game, having created four big chances at Old Trafford.

United can redeem themselves with their first win of the Europa League campaign. Interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy could make a couple of changes to the team.

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Predicted Line-up:

Andre Onana has been splendid between the sticks, but he could have done better to prevent Moises Caicedo’s long-range effort. He will want to make amends with a clean sheet.

Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui are poised to start at full-back, while Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez are expected to continue in the heart of the defence.

Manuel Ugarte had another poor outing against the Blues, winning just two out of 13 duels. With Christian Eriksen back in full training, Ugarte could be dropped.

Eriksen has been at his creative best in recent months and could accompany Casemiro, who has been one of United’s best players since the international break.

Marcus Rashford could be handed a breather after he was spotted training individually. Amad Diallo is the most likely candidate to replace the Englishman in the starting line-up.

Alejandro Garnacho should start on the left wing, with Diallo on the right. Bruno Fernandes is guaranteed to play in the number 10 role and Rasmus Hojlund will start up front.

Joshua Zirkzee has not scored in his last 13 appearances and could be limited to another cameo.
