Manchester United can take another huge step towards the Europa League knockout stages with a victory over Omonia Nicosia.
The Red Devils sit second, three points behind Group E leaders Real Sociedad, ahead of the Cypriot side’s visit to Old Trafford.
United needed Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford (2) to come off the bench and rescue them in a 3-2 win against Omonia last week and Erik ten Hag will be keen to avoid any potential slip-ups this time around.

90 Mins to KO: What is the latest picture Europa League Group E?
United still have work to do as they push to secure a place in the Europa League knockout stages in 2023.
Real Sociedad are leading the way, with nine points from three games – ahead of hosting Sheriff Tiraspol tonight – as United trail in second place, on six points
Top spot in the group guarantees a Europa League last 16 place but second place would mean a knockout play off against a side dropping down from the Champions League group stages.
See who can qualify for the round of 16 this evening… 👀#UEL
