Manchester United will be looking for their first win of this season’s Europa League when they welcome Greek side PAOK at Old Trafford on Thursday night.
United have drawn all three of their games so far, while they have won just one of their last 11 European games in total. It’s a worrying record and one that can only change if we start win football matches.
The result against FC Twente was a bitter blow. We also drew away a lead against FC Porto and should’ve beaten Fenerbahce.
Erik ten Hag was in charge for those matches but it will be up to Ruud van Nistelrooy as interim manager to pick the team on Thursday night.
Van Nistelrooy can call upon Mason Mount after a month out, and it looks like Christian Eriksen is available again.

Bruno Fernandes missed the draw against Fenerbahce due to suspension but we fully expect him to be named in the line-up.
Andre Onana will start between the posts behind a defence consisting of Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs de Ligt, Lisandro Martinez, Diogo Dalot.
In midfield we’ll see Manuel Ugarte and Christian Eriksen in the middle, while Amad Diallo and Marcus Rashford will be tasked with hurting PAOK on the flanks.
Rasmus Hojlund will play up front ahead of Bruno Fernandes.
Manchester United XI: Onana; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot; Amad, Ugarte, Eriksen, Rashford; Fernandes, Hojlund.
