Partizan vs Manchester United live stream: How to watch Europa League clash online and on TV
Manchester United ended their wretched 11-match winless run on the road as Anthony Martial's spot-kick secured a hard-fought victory played out to a hostile backdrop at Partizan Belgrade.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer kicked off his reign with a club record nine successive away wins, only to endure a remarkable 33-week wait stretching back to March's jaw-dropping Champions League triumph at Paris St Germain.
No longer at the continent's top table, the Europa League provided the platform for their first victory on the road since then, with United digging deep amid Partizan pressure - from both players and their unrelenting fans - as Martial's first-half penalty secured a 1-0 triumph.
It was a welcome return to winning ways at a poignant setting as Partizan Stadium hosted United's final match before the Munich air disaster on a refuelling stop on their way back from Belgrade.
Club officials paid respect to the 23 killed on the morning of a game that saw Partizan fans stream backing into a stadium after serving a two-match UEFA sanction for racist behaviour.
It led to understandable concerns of a repeat of the shameful scenes in Bulgaria last week, but this Group L encounter appeared to pass without any such behaviour as United got back to winning ways - albeit not in the most convincing fashion.
Jesse Lingard and former Rangers man Umar Sadiq hit the woodwork in quick succession during an even first half that United would snatch the lead in, with Martial converting the penalty won by the direct running of Brandon Williams.
It capped a promising display by the 19-year-old on his second senior start and fellow teenager James Garner held his own in a hostile environment, but Solskjaer's side rode their luck in Belgrade.
Savo Milosevic's men pushed throughout the second half but were just unable to level.
Despite the malaise of Manchester United's midfield this season, Garner has until today not been called upon to step up into the first-team picture.
But with United desperate for an inspiring performance in the Europa League after a draw with AZ Alkmaar and an unconvincing win over Astana, could Garner make his name tonight?
It also appears that Ole Gunnar Solskajer has stuck with the back three system that worked so well at Liverpool.
The back three today however consists of Harry Maguire, today's captain, and Marcus Rojo, both of whom played against Klopp's men, while Phil Jones comes in for Victor Lindelof.
This is not the first time Manchester United have visited Partizan Belgrade. The two teams met in a famous European Cup semi-final in 1966, eight years after the Munich disaster, and defeat brought Sir Matt Busby to tears as he believed it was their best chance to finally win the trophy. Two years later they did it, completing one of the most remarkable stories in football history.
Here is Miguel Delaney on that fateful semi-final:
Solskjaer has been speaking about the inclusion of James Garner in the Man Utd Xi ahead of tonight's game:
"He’s has been excellent and he’s been waiting for his chance,” Solskjaer told MUTV.
“Tonight with the experience he has around, it will be a good start for him. He’s got more or less 300 caps around him so don’t think he’s ever played with so much experience around him and he’s an exciting player.”
United have looked to start this game brightly and their first attack sees them attack down the right before it is snuffed out due to Wan Bissaka's slip.
Umar Sadiq is the real threat for Partizan tonight and he gives United a taster of his threat with a run which causes Maguire to give away a free-kick.
From it the Partizan striker heads over at the back post.
