English Premier League giants Manchester United are set to return to Europa League action on Thursday night as they travel to Istanbul, Turkey, to face Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce.
Erik ten Hag’s side regained their winning touch in the Premier League over the weekend with a 2-1 victory against Brentford. However, they have yet to secure a win in the current Europa League group stage.
In their last Europa League outing, United played out a thrilling 3-3 draw against FC Porto in Lisbon, following a disappointing 1-1 draw against FC Twente at Old Trafford in their opening match.

Despite the setbacks, United remain favorites to claim their first Europa League victory and jump-start their campaign after two consecutive draws. However, they are currently facing an injury crisis, with Kobbie Mainoo, Mason Mount, and Leny Yoro still sidelined.
Ahead of the match, United will be without Bruno Fernandes, who is suspended after receiving a straight red card against Porto. Christian Eriksen could step in for Fernandes, while Manuel Ugarte is expected to return to the starting lineup after coming off the bench against Brentford.
Possible Lineup:
Andre Onana, Diogo Dalot, Matthijs de Ligt, Jonny Evans, Lisandro Martinez, Casemiro, Manuel Ugarte,
