Latest football review Plzen vs MU

Ruben Amorim made an impressive start to his Manchester United career, with three games unbeaten (W2 D1), but that was followed by back-to-back Premier League defeats to Arsenal and Nottingham Forest. A 2-0 defeat at Arsenal and a 3-2 defeat to Forest left the team in 13th place with 19 points from 15 games, their lowest since the 1986-87 season. Amorim admitted the team lacked quality and that rebuilding would take time.

Before heading to the Manchester derby, United will focus on the Europa League, where they have two wins and three draws from five games and are just one point away from qualifying for the last 16. The last time United went unbeaten in their opening six European games was in 2013-14. They are also looking for their first win in the Czech Republic, having drawn two and lost one on their previous three visits.

Viktoria Plzen remain in contention to reach the knockout stages of the Europa League for the second successive season, having reached the quarter-finals of the Conference League last term. Plzen are unbeaten in five group games, with two wins and three draws. Following three consecutive draws, they have won 2-1 against Real Sociedad and Dynamo Kiev, leaving them just one point off the top eight.

Pavel Sulc has continued his fine form this season, scoring 10 goals. Plzen are second in the Czech league, unbeaten in seven games (W6 D1), but are still 10 points behind leaders Slavia Prague. They will now turn their attention to the Europa League, aiming for their first win over an English side since defeats to Manchester City in the 2013-14 Champions League.
