Manchester United badly need a win in their 2024-25 UEFA Europa League campaign, as they welcome in a visit from Paok FC. All United have to show for their efforts so far are three draws. Maybe having someone else in charge, instead of Erik ten Hag, could make a difference this time?
Ruud van Nistelrooy pretty much has no choice but to field a very strong team. There are just too many injuries to do some squad rotation.
