Man United vs PAOK Preview

Man United have put together a decent run of results at Old Trafford and look better under Ruud van Nistelrooy. United can keep their good form rolling against an out-of-form PAOK side.

Head to Head

Man United and PAOK have never met in a competitive fixture.

Man United Form

Man United are 23rd in the Europa League standings after drawing three games. The Red Devils have scored five goals in the competitions so far.

United drew 1-1 at Fenerbahce in their last European clash, which came before a 2-1 loss at West Ham. Erik Ten Hag was then sacked and replaced by Ruud van Nistelrooy, who oversaw a 5-2 home win over Leicester.

The Red Devils have stabilised under van Nistelrooy and held Chelsea to a 1-1 home draw on Sunday. United had 2.16 XG and Bruno Fernandes scored a 69th penalty before Chelsea levelled with 20 minutes left.

Man United Injuries

Midfielder Mason Mount has returned to training and could be in contention to feature.

Defenders Leny Yoro, Luke Shaw, Harry Maguire and Tyrell Malacia are out through injury.

Forward Anthony and midfield pair Kobbie Mainoo and Christian Eriksen are also unavailable.

PAOK Form

Greek side PAOK lost their opening two Europa League matches 3-1 at Galatasaray and 1-0 against FCSB. They got a point on the board following a 2-2 home draw with Viktoria Plzen.

Razvan Lucescu’s side couldn’t build momentum and lost 2-1 against OFI in the Greek Super League. PAOK then got back to winning ways with a 3-0 cup triumph against second-tier side Egaleo.

Another win came against relegation-threatened Lamia (2-1). PAOK trailed 1-0 at half time but Andrija Zivkovic and Tarik Tissoudali hit back in the second period.

PAOK Injuries

Midfielder Tiemoué Bakayoko is PAOK’s only absentee and will miss out here through injury.

Verdict

Man Utd v PAOK Salonika

Man United have turned a corner with van Nistelrooy at the helm and appear much more solid. A strong Red Devils performance is expected against a PAOK team looking shaky in the Europa League.
