Man Utd v PAOK LIVE: Latest Europa League updates
Tonight at Old Trafford, Manchester United will face off against the Greek team PAOK in the Europa League. Ruud van Nistelrooy's squad is aiming to secure their first victory of the season in this European tournament.
United fought to a 1-1 draw with Chelsea last weekend, but this upcoming match against the Greek champions presents a great opportunity for a confidence-boosting display in what will be Van Nistelrooy’s second-to-last game as manager. Currently, United is sitting in 21st place in the league standings, while the Greek champions have been performing well in their home league but have struggled in European competition this season, managing just one point from three matches.
The new United manager, Ruben Amorim, will officially start his role on November 11, following the league game against Leicester. Ruud van Nistelrooy has the chance to help out his future replacement by securing vital points in his last two matches.
Stay updated on the current score and all the excitement happening in the match between United and PAOK right here.

Onana: Man Utd Will Embrace Amorim's Style
Andre Onana believes that the players in Manchester United's team have the skill and practicality needed to adapt to the style of their new head coach, Ruben Amorim.
The leadership at Old Trafford moved quickly by hiring the Sporting Lisbon coach last week, after they all agreed to let Erik ten Hag go due to a disappointing beginning to his third season in charge.
Amorim received an ideal farewell during his last game at the Jose Alvalade Stadium on Tuesday night, orchestrating an impressive 4-1 victory over Manchester City's rivals, Manchester United, in the Champions League.
Onana was one of the viewers who was impressed, and he feels that the Portuguese manager is stepping into a club that can adjust to his requirements. This suggests that his preferred high-energy 3-4-3 formation might also be effective.
"I caught the match yesterday," said the United goalkeeper. "It was an impressive win for them, by the way."
"Our approach may vary, but my players and teammates share a practical mindset."
"I believe that everyone on our team can adapt to any system, so I don't foresee this being a problem for us. We have talented players who will rise to the occasion."

Ruud van Nistelrooy has mentioned that Manchester United's midfield is still lacking depth, especially with Christian Eriksen added to the growing list of unavailable players, which also includes Kobbie Mainoo and Toby Collyer, along with defenders Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia. On a positive note, Mason Mount is back in training and participating fully.
Bruno Fernandes is set to come back after serving a one-game suspension in Europe, giving the United manager nearly the same choices he had during the recent match against Chelsea.
The Dutch manager might consider making some changes before the match against Leicester City this weekend. Amad Diallo, Victor Lindelof, and Joshua Zirkzee are all possible candidates for the starting lineup. Young players Harry Amass and Jack Fletcher might also get a chance to play, especially since the team is lacking depth at left-back and in central midfield.
Dejan Lovren, who used to play for Liverpool, has not been included in the squad for PAOK in this competition. The team captain, Vieirinha, is also unable to participate, along with former Aston Villa forward Mbwana Samatta. Additionally, Tiemoue Bakayoko, a former Chelsea player, is currently sidelined due to an injury.
Former Manchester United player Shola Shoretire made an appearance from the substitute bench for his Greek team over the weekend, and he might play again at Old Trafford soon.

Live: Man Utd Vs. PAOK Match Updates
Interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy is set to lead the team in his second-to-last match, as United aims to secure their first win of the season following three frustrating draws in their initial matches.
Currently, United is positioned 23rd in the league standings, placing them just above the play-off cutoff. To steer clear of having to play two extra matches during the busy winter months next year, they must earn points in their upcoming games.
Supporters are excited for the beginning of Ruben Amorim's time as coach, which kicks off on November 11. However, van Nistelrooy has the chance to help his future replacement by securing three points in this match, especially following a solid performance against Chelsea last week.
