Manchester United form and stats

Last season, Manchester United's Champions League journey ended in the 8th finals against Atletico Madrid.

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Old Trafford as Manchester United have scored 24 goals to get 29 points from 12 games. The overall stats in the Premier League are 9-2-1 (wins-draws-losses). This match is a Europa League match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 6 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in this competition.

No payout for United in their previous match, an away game at Liverpool that ended in defeat 0-7. Manchester United were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one. Casemiro (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 6.85/10. Casemiro hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Before that result, a home win against West Ham United in the FA Cup.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Manchester United as they have a new game in only three days, a Premier League match thankfully also at home. Southampton are visiting.

United have only conceded 8 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Read more about Europa League

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Some teams qualify from the Champions League; more precisely the teams who are knocked out in the playoff qualifying round and the third-place finishers of the group stage. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
