Fenerbahce vs Manchester United: Europa League prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news today

Jose Mourinho and Fenerbahce look to pile on the misery afainst Erik ten Hag and Manchester United in the pick of this week’s Europa League clashes.

United got their first win in six at the weekend with a 2-1 comeback victory over Brentford, but have won just one of their last nine in Europe, neither of which have come this season.

The Red Devils needed a late Harry Maguire goal to steal a point at Porto, while they could only draw 1-1 at home with FC Twente in their opening game. It means the Dutchman remains in desperate need of a win to build momentum, and to kickstart their campaign.

Mourinho has fared better so far, drawing with Twente and defeating Union St. Gilloise, although they already eight points off the pace in the Turkish Super League.

The former United boss was in charge the last time the two clubs met back in November 2016 in the same competition, a game which his current side won.

Fenerbahce vs Manchester United team news

Bruno Fernandes picked up two yellow cards in the 3-3 draw at Porto last time out in the competition, so serves a one-game ban.

United may be without Casemiro for the trip to Istanbul, with the Brazilian midfielder coming off late against Brentford with a muscle injury, while Mason Mount will not feature and neither will Jonny Evans.

Kobbie Mainoo and Harry Maguire remain out, as do long-term absentees Luke Shaw, Leny Yoro and Tyrell Malacia.

As well as ex-Old Trafford duo Fred and Amrabat, Jose Mourinho has a collection of former Premier League players in his squad. Edin Dzeko has been a scourge of United in the past, and he’s joined by Dusan Tadic, Allan Saint-Maximin, Caglar Soyuncu and Cenk Tosun.

Fenerbahce vs Manchester United prediction

Given United have scored three goals in each of their last four European away games but not won any of them, goals and a draw seem like the most likely outcome.

That’s what we’re going with here, as ten Hag’s latest attempt to build momentum is slowed down by the Special One and his motley crew.

2-2 draw.
