Latest Porto vs Man Utd team news
Porto will be without two long-term absentees, Zaidu Sanusi and Ivan Marcano (both with ACL injuries), while Otavio remains doubtful after missing the last three games due to a muscle problem. However, the Dragons have welcomed back Fabio Vieira, on loan from Arsenal, who could make his first appearance since returning in the summer.
Omrodion, who scored on his most recent Europa League debut, is expected to continue leading the attack, supported by wingers Pepe and Galeno.
On Manchester United's side, Leny Yoro (leg injury) and Luke Shaw (calf injury) remain unavailable, while Kobbie Mainoo (muscle injury), Mason Mount (head injury), Harry Maguire (minor injury) and Tyrell Malacia (knee injury) are all doubtful. If Mainoo is unavailable, Casemiro or Christian Eriksen could fill in midfield alongside Ugarte, while captain Fernandes will still play in the number 10 position despite his Premier League suspension.
With United lacking attacking sharpness, Joshua Zirkzee risks losing his place to Rasmus Hojlund, while Amad Diallo and Antony will compete with Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford for wing-back positions.

Costa; Mario, Pedro, Perez, Moura; Gonzalez, Varela; Pepe, Sousa, Galeno; Omorodion

Latest football match prediction: Porto vs Man Utd
Manchester United are experiencing their worst start in Premier League history, having only earned seven points and lost three of their opening six games, including a 0-3 defeat to Tottenham. Former defender Gary Neville described the loss as "disgusting" and "one of the worst performances" the team has had under Erik ten Hag.
Bruno Fernandes's red card did not improve the situation, while their midfield remained vulnerable. Ten Hag suffered 10 defeats by three goals during his time in charge of Man United, including two this season. Over £600 million was spent on new signings, and the majority of the starting lineup were either recruited by him or promoted from the academy.
Despite reports that the management has no immediate plans to change coaches, Ten Hag could struggle if their form doesn't improve. Before losing to Spurs, they only managed a 1-1 draw against FC Twente in the Europa League, but they can travel to Porto with confidence given their unbeaten run in their last 12 European matches against Portuguese teams.
Porto have had a better start to the season, winning six of their seven Primeira Liga matches, with their only defeat coming against Sporting Lisbon. They recently beat Arouca 4-0 and are hoping to translate their domestic form into European competition, despite losing 2-3 to Bodo/Glimt in their Europa League opening match.
Porto have faced Man United eight times in European competition, winning two. Ten Hag desperately need a reaction from his players on Thursday, but a win against Porto, who have lost only one of their last 22 home games, will be no easy feat. The Red Devils' recent away performances in Europe have been disappointing, with a combined 23 goals scored and only one win in their last four away games. A tough match awaits them.
