Erik ten Hag’s side are three points behind La Real and need to win by two or more goals to overtake their rivals and take top spot. The Red Devils’ only defeat in Europe so far this season came against the Spanish side at Old Trafford in the opening game of the group stage. Since that result, the hosts have won every game in the competition, scoring ten goals and conceding just one in the process. With the group winner heading straight into the last 16 and avoiding the play-offs with the powerful Champions League exits, both sides will be desperate for a win.
