Man United vs PAOK: Europa League - LIVE!
Ruud van Nistelrooy will lead Manchester United for the second-to-last time as they face PAOK in the Europa League this evening. Ruben Amorim, the club’s new permanent manager, will start his role at Old Trafford next week, making this Van Nistelrooy’s only opportunity to guide United in a European match.
Over the weekend, the Dutch coach managed a draw against Chelsea in a match that lacked excitement. Now, the attention shifts to igniting their European campaign. Currently, United are placed 22nd in the standings after three consecutive draws. They have two home games coming up against PAOK and Bodo/Glimt, which, at least on paper, present an opportunity to gain some momentum. Bruno Fernandes has returned from suspension, and there's a possibility that Mason Mount will be fit to join the team.
PAOK has had a disappointing beginning in the Europa League, managing to collect only one point so far. Manchester United needs to make sure that number doesn't increase tonight. You can keep track of all the action by following Standard Sport's LIVE blog below!
