Bet £10 Get £30 in Free Bets for Manchester United vs Sabah

Manchester United make their return to Europe's biggest stage for the first time in three seasons, as they take on European newcomers Sabah from Azerbaijan.

The Red Devils were absent from European football last season, the first time since 2014/15, when they were under Louis van Gaal. Michael Carrick guided the home side to a third-place finish in the Premier League following the dismissal of Ruben Amorim. United's Champions League campaign this season is an English record, with 26 campaigns in total since the competition's rebranding.

In 2023/24, the Red Devils put in a poor showing in the old format, finishing bottom of a group that included Copenhagen, Galatasaray and Bayern Munich, thanks in large part to Andre Onana's dreadful performances.

The Red Devils last won this competition in 2008, and they come into this game after dramatic scenes at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, where Manchester United squandered the lead.

Sabah are the new boys in this competition and have already played eight times leading up to the dream tie against Manchester United at Old Trafford. The Azerbaijani outfit have beaten TNS, KuPS, Aarhus and Hapoel Be'er Sheva in the 2026-27 Champions League qualifying rounds to secure a spot at this stage for the first time, and they will enter the match off a thumping 5-0 win over Zira in the league.

Manchester United to win

By quality alone, Manchester United should be winning this fixture, as the Red Devils have been given the easiest tie on paper against newcomers Sabah. Since Michael Carrick's arrival, Manchester United's home record has been exemplary, with only one defeat at Old Trafford, which was against Leeds United in the Premier League.

Benjamin Sesko to score

Sesko has been recovering from an injury sustained last season against Liverpool and has featured from the bench thus far. The Slovenian striker scored from the bench against Everton at the weekend, although his late header was cancelled out by a wonderful strike from Ainsley Maitland-Niles. Since Michael Carrick joined the club, no player has provided more goal contributions outside of Bruno Fernandes than Benjamin Sesko; the Slovenian striker scored 8 league goals under Carrick's tenure.

Bruno Fernandes 2 + Shots on Target

Bruno Fernandes will lead Manchester United out for another European campaign, and despite the Manchester derby on Sunday, Fernandes is set to start for the Red Devils. This season, Fernandes is already leading the way in terms of goal contributions, with four in the Premier League, and the Portuguese international has averaged five shots per game in the league.

Tymoteusz Puchacz 2 + Fouls

Tymoteusz Puchacz has started two of Sabah's first three league games and played the two recent Champions League matches against Hapoel Be'er Sheva. The Polish defender committed two fouls in Sabah's recent Champions League game, and domestically he has averaged a foul per game in three appearances.

Steve Solvet 1 + Fouls

Steve Solvet has committed at least one foul in four of his last five appearances, and in the Champions League this season, Solet has committed four fouls in his last four matches.
