The appointment of Ruben Amorim has not had the effect the fans hoped for. Manchester are still at the bottom of the table, have a negative difference in goals and have experienced recent failures. In their previous matches, they drew against Liverpool and knocked Arsenal out of the FA Cup but then lost on home soil against Brighton.
In the Europa League, United will be vying for the ultimate spot. They’ve achieved victories with difficulties despite facing modest opponents. In the tournament, the club were only able to win by a difference of more than one goal over PAOK (2-0).
Ruben Amorim has to do without a number of key defensive players. For this reason, the Portuguese won’t change the three defenders.
Luke Shaw, Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans are sidelined. Also, Mason Mount will not be able to appear due to injury.
Rangers are having a turbulent season, alternating victories with losing to weaker opponents. The visitors are already 13 points behind Celtic, so they’re more focused on the Europa League.
The team approaches the clash with Manchester United in a good mood. In the Scottish Premiership, they beat Aberdeen (3-0), and in the Cup, they defeated Fraserburgh very convincingly (5-0).
The Europa League draw gave Rangers a complex calendar, but the Scots are confidently holding on in the top 8. In the last round, they beat Tottenham by all statistical indicators but missed a real chance at the end of the match and could not claim a victory.
There are several losses in Rangers. Primary defender John Souttar has been removed from the injured list, but his appearance on the field remains in question. Rangers will also have to do without the disqualified Mohamed Diomande.
Bet hereIn the Europa League, Manchester played Viktoria Plzen and Bodo/Glimt and struggled to achieve one-goal victories. Also, they failed to secure three points against Twente and Fenerbahce.
Rangers are tougher opponents. They’ve already shown their strength against Tottenham and will come to Old Trafford for a win. For the Scots, playing in this tournament is a priority, which means they’ll be utterly concentrated.
United are still the favourites but we expect a tough battle, which could be a close one for the hosts.
Our first prediction for this game is Rangers to win (+1.5) handicap.
Both teams lack a reliable defence. If we take a look at the display from the defenders, we see that they regularly make mistakes and allow dangerous chances near their goal.
Amad Diallo has been a bright spot for Manchester United and is slowly moving to the starting lineup. In recent matches, he’s taken the attacking lead. In Rangers, the same can be said about Hamza Igamane.
The clubs’ defensive lines are regularly affected by the opponents’ long passes. We think this match will be an open one, and an exchange of goals is expected.
Our second pick for the game would be over 2.5 goals.
