UCL. Manchester United V Valencia: Preview and Possible Starting XI

UEFA Champions League 2018/19: Matchday 1
  • Manchester United V Valencia
  • Venue: Old Trafford
  • Date: Tuesday, 02 October
  • Kick-off time: 8pm
Jose Mourinho and Manchester United return to Champions League action at Old Trafford with the club in full-on crisis mode. Mourinho needed a response from his players as United followed up last weekend’s 1-1 Premier league draw against Wolves with an EFL Cup exit at home to Derby, but the Red Devils were abject as West Ham cruised to a 3-1 victory at the London Stadium on Saturday. Mourinho is without a quartet of first-teamers, with Ashley Young, Marcos Rojo, Ander Herrera and Jesse Lingard all ruled out. United's starting line-up will be anybody's guess after Mourinho's new-look 3-5-2 formation at West Ham, with Scott McTominay in defence and Anthony Martial alongside Romelu Lukaku in the attack. Despite scoring twice in the 3-0 Champions League win over Young Boys, Paul Pogba may be the fall guy this time around after Mourinho substituted him off early in London after some wayward passing. There are also question marks over whether Alexis Sanchez will be restored to the squad after being made to travel to London this weekend and then missing out on the 18-man matchday squad. Possible Line Ups:   Betting & Match Odds Manchester United are priced at odds of winning 1.69 according to VBet, while a draw is available at 3.73. A win for Valencia are priced at 5.46.
