Manchester United will host Spanish outfit Real Sociedad in their Europa League Group E opener on Thursday.

Monday night football does not get any better than this huge clash pitting Manchester United against rivals Liverpool.

Both teams are without a win from their two opening matches, leaving United second from bottom while the reds are 15th.

The Red Devils have conceded 6 goals in their consecutive defeats to Brighton and Brentford, scoring just once.

Liverpool on the other hand have played out to a 2-2 draw at Fulham before being held to a 1-1 home draw by Crystal Palace.

This is arguably the biggest fixture on the English football calendar and there is lots at stake for both sides.

Man United were embarrassed by Liverpool in their two Premier League games last season, suffering a 5-0 loss at Old Trafford and 4-0 defeat at Anfield.

Do they have what it takes to launch a revenge mission against Jurgen Klopp’s side?

Man United vs Liverpool team news

The return of Anthony Martial is the biggest news for the home team but he may start on the bench.

Despite the arrival of Casemiro from Real Madrid, the midfield three is likely to remain in the shape of Fred, Bruno Fernandes and Christian Eriksen.

Cristiano Ronaldo will lead the attacking line, flanked by Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho.

For the visitors, the departure of Sadio Mane to Bayern seems to be showing but Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz are more than capable.

They will most likely be supported by Roberto Firmino who was replaced by Darwin Nunez in the starting XI last week.

The rest of the away team will remain unchanged with Harvey Elliott expected to start as well.
