Manchester United travel to Russia for the first leg of the Europa League knockouts against FC Rostov.
The Red Devils are in impressive form right now and they will be looking to secure a win in the knockout rounds of the competition.
Despite the draw against Bournemouth in the Premier League, Jose Mourinho’s men will be firm favourites to win the game against Rostov. They have been very hard to beat over the last few months and the Russian outfit will struggle to break them down.
The away side will be without Mkhitaryan and Eric Bailly for this game. The former Villarreal defender is suspended and the Armenian remains injured.
