Manchester United start their Europa League campaign against Dutch outfit FC Twente on Wedneday night, their first of eight fixtures in the revamped competition.

Erik ten Hag has once again had a poor start to the season, with United languishing in the bottom half of the Premier League after five matches and only managing victories against newly promoted Southampton and Fulham so far.

The Dutch outfit, who Ten Hag played for across three separate occasions during his career as a defender, have won three of their first six in the Eredivisie and sit fourth in the table.

United will also face the likes of PAOK, Fenerbahce and SPL side Rangers during their Europa League campaign.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match.

What is the team news?

Leny Yoro and Luke Shaw continue to be absentees in defence, while squad options in the back line Tyrell Malacia and Victor Lindelof are also out. Otherwise United should be at full strength, with Mason Mount back in action and new signing Manuel Ugarte hoping to start.

Younes Taha is the only definite absence for Twente, but Bart van Rooij went off injured at the weekend and could miss out as a result.

Predicted lineups

MUN - Onana, Dalot, Maguire, Evans, Collyer, Ugarte, Mount, Antony, Fernandes, Rashford, Hojlund

TWE - Unnerstall, van Rooij, Hilgers, Bruns, Salah-Eddine, Eiting, Regeer, Rots, Steijn, Van Bergen, Lammers

Odds

Man United 1/4

Draw 9/2

Twente 9/1

Prediction

A standard home win in Europe in uninspiring fashion for the Red Devils - but more focus will be on their upcoming weekend match against fellow Europa League side Spurs. United 2-0 Twente.
