Manchester United return to Europa League action with a trip to Partizan Belgrade in Thursday night's Group L clash.
United have endured a terrible start to the 2019/20 season, though turned in a much-improved performance during Sunday's 1-1 Old Trafford draw against Liverpool - even if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer felt it was two points dropped due to Adam Lallana's late goal.
United are winless in their last four outings, and even their last win - a Carabao Cup penalty shootout victory over League One Rochdale - had an air of desperation about it.
The Red Devils drew their last European match - a dour stalemate at AZ Alkmaar - and Solskjaer needs a performance from his attacking players as United bid to kickstart their campaign.
