Manchester United host Partizan Belgrade at Old Trafford in the Europa League Group L encounter later tonight.

After losing to Bournemouth at the weekend, Manchester United are in desperate need of a win when they host Partizan Belgrade in the Europa League. The Red Devils are on top of Group L with 7 points from their opening three fixtures.

The Red Devils won the reverse fixture 1-0 in Serbia after Anthony Martial converted a first-half penalty. They will be hoping for another win to guarantee their qualification to the knockout stages of the competition.

Partizan, on the other hand, are trailing rivals Red Star Belgrade by 10 points after 14 games as they sit 4th in their league. They will go into the game trilled on the back of their 4-0 victory over Vojvodina last Saturday. A win tonight will raise their hopes of qualifying to the knockout stages of the competition.

Manchester United will be without several players ahead of this fixture. Centre-backs Eric Bailly and Axel Tuanzebe are out due to injuries. Paul Pogba, Nemanja Matic, Luke Shaw, Diogo Dalot and long-term absentee Timothy Fosu-Mensah are all sidelined.
