The Red Devils won away Swiss Young Boys 3-0 two weeks ago at the start of group phase, while Valencia lost at home to Juventus 2-0. Let’s add that the two teams were together in the same group of the Champions League in 2012 and then the United won away 1-0, while match in Manchester ended as 1-1 draw.

Manchester United

Now, the Red Devils hope that can win Valencia at home, regardless that atmosphere in the changing room is bleak. The reason is that team led by manager Mourinho was hit by major crisis right after the above-mentioned victory over Young Boys, given they merely drew 1-1 at home with the Wolves, while last weekend they lost away to West Ham 3-1 and were eliminated from the League Cup by second-division Derby.

After all those mishaps Mourinho is again target of the United’s fans, who in the meantime managed to have verbal spats with Pogba and Sanchez. The two of them will most probably skip match with Valencia, and instead of them Herrera and Rashford should get chance. Besides, we expect that Bailly gets advantage over not fully ready Lindelof in defence. We should add that definitely out of action is only injured stopper Rojo.

Probable lineups Manchester United: de Gea – Valencia, Smalling, Bailly, Shaw– Fred, Matic, Herrera – Lingard, Lukaku, Rashford

Valencia

While Manchester United was only recently hit by crisis Valencia is in similar situation since the beginning of season given it drew five and lost one La Liga match, and was defeated at home in the same period by Juventus in the Champions League. Still, last weekend team led by manager Marcelinho won for the first time this season. Valencia won league match with Sevilla 1-0 and now it has three points more than teams in the drop zone.

Everyone is clear that the team has capacity for much better results in La Liga, but the Champions League put the bar much higher since they share the group with Juventus and Manchester United. Right because of that the next match at the Old Trafford is very important, where the Bats should definitely try to exploit the crisis that currently plagues the United, regardless that due to injuries the match will most probably skip defenders Piccini and Gaya, and forward Santi Mina.

Probable lineups Valencia: Neto – Vezo, Paulista, Diakhaby, Lato – Soler, Parejo, Kondogbia, Cheryshev – Rodrigo, Gameiro

Verdict:

Despite of fact that the Red Devils are in crisis at the moment they started well the Champions League and now, against not so strong Valencia, they should give their best in order to make it up to their fans for weak results in English competitions.
