Manchester United will hope to return to winning ways when they take on Sheriff away from home turf in Thursday night’s Europa League group stage clash.
Eric ten Hag’s men were handed a 1-0 defeat by Real Sociedad in the opening game last week and the players would be expected to perform as per expectations this time around.
A controversial defeat to Sociedad, with the penalty awarded to the visitors for a Lisandro Martinez handball, had them protesting but United had to settle for a narrow loss on matchday one while Sheriff ran out convincing winners in a 3-0 win over Omonia Nicosia.
