Comments and predictions for MU vs FC Twente: The Red Devils hold their heads high

Latest MU vs FC Twente team information

Manchester United are struggling without summer signing Leny Yoro (foot injury), along with uncertainty over Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia and Victor Lindelof.

Although the latter two have returned to training, Ten Hag could make changes to his defence after keeping three consecutive clean sheets. Marcus Rashford is hoping to return to the starting line-up, while Alejandro Garnacho, Amad Diallo and Antony are also competing for attacking spots.

FC Twente are also struggling with midfielder Michal Sadilek still recovering from injury, while coach Oosting is unlikely to make many changes to the starting line-up. Sem Steijn has been Twente's standout performer this season, scoring seven goals in eight games, and will play the No. 10 role supporting striker Sam Lammers.

Latest football commentary on MU vs FC Twente

Despite finishing eighth in the Premier League last season, Manchester United are in the Europa League for the seventh time since its rebranding in 2009, having won the FA Cup final against Manchester City in May. The Red Devils have started the new season in inconsistent form, winning three, losing three and drawing one of their seven games in all competitions. They have had back-to-back wins over Southampton (3-0) and Barnsley (7-0), but could only manage a goalless draw against Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Manchester United will now turn their attention to the Europa League with their first home game against FC Twente on Wednesday. The Red Devils, who have lost just one of their last 24 home games in the Europa League, are confident of success in their opening game and are considered favourites to win the competition this year, for the second time in their history after winning it in 2016-17.

FC Twente, coached by Joseph Oosting since 17 September 2024, finished third in the Eredivisie last season for the first time in a decade. FC Twente have taken 11 points from their first six games of the new season, with their last two wins coming against Heerenveen and Almere City. Fourth in the Eredivisie and seven points behind leaders PSV Eindhoven, Twente are now focused on their first European campaign since 2012-13.

FC Twente have found their scoring form again in recent weeks and could pose a threat to Manchester United's defence, particularly through in-form striker Steijn. Ten Hag's side have been a bit inconsistent for some time, but expect the Red Devils to get past their opponents and start their Europa League campaign on a positive note.
