Porto vs Man United: After Spurs ‘Show’, Ten Hag’s United Travel to Estádio do Dragão for Europa Clash

After Sunday’s quite frankly, embarrassing game against Tottenham in the EPL, Erik Ten Hag and his Manchester United side, travel to the Estádio do Dragão on Thursday to face a familiar foe in Portugal’s FC Porto in their second UEFA Europa League match this season.

Both teams seek their first wins of the competition after disappointing results in their opening fixtures with United drawing 1-1 with FC Twente and FC Porto losing 3-2 to Bodo/Glimt.

🔵Porto Looking to Bounce Back After Opening Loss | Home Win = 2.72💵

Porto, despite their defeat to Bodo/Glimt, have had a strong domestic campaign, winning six of their seven Primeira Liga matches and netting 16 goals. Vitor Bruno's men are known for their attacking prowess but must avoid complacency in Europe.

The Portuguese side come off a 4-0 thrashing of Arouca, a result that should boost confidence. At home, they will be eager to continue their form, especially against a vulnerable United side.

🔴Man United Aim to Recover From Humiliating Loss | Away Win = 2.65💵

Manchester United travel to Porto in poor form, following a 3-0 Premier League defeat to Tottenham. Erik ten Hag's side have been inconsistent this season, struggling to maintain a string of good results.

United’s Europa League campaign, could be the thing that perhaps makes them smile at the end of the season, seeing as the EPL title seems too difficult a task, however, if that is to happen, they will have to start showing it against sides like Porto.

🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:

Porto’s squad depth will be tested, with Zaidu and Ivan Marcano sidelined. However, forwards Omorodion and Galeno are in great form, and Arsenal loanee Fabio Vieira is fit to start.

For United, injuries to Luke Shaw, Harry Maguire, and Tyrell Malacia leave Ten Hag short of options at the back. Bruno Fernandes remains the key man for the Red Devils, while Rasmus Højlund may get the nod up front after a string of poor results.
