Manchester United are hoping to get back on track after a crushing 6-3 defeat by Manchester City on Sunday. They travel to Cyprus to take on Omonia in their third Europa League match and can manage with a win to secure their place in Group E. An early home defeat to Real Sociedad left no room for error in Erik ten Haag's side and Omonia must be the perfect opponent to restore confidence in the team.
The Cypriot side, now managed by former Celtic, Boutlon and Hibernian coach Neil Lennon, are yet to hit the mark in the Europa League this term, conceding five goals in their first two defeats. Omonia have also had a slow start to their domestic league campaign but have managed two clean sheets and two wins in their last two games.
It's a losing game for United on paper, but The Hague will have to rally their players after losing the 'reality test' in the Manchester derby. Cristiano Ronaldo was not present on Sunday and was upset about not being on the pitch, so expect the 37-year-old striker to play a part in tonight's proceedings.
