Europa League 2019-20: Manchester United vs Partizan Belgrade Match Preview

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.

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.
