There’s a Battle of Britain taking place in the Europa League on Thursday evening when Manchester United welcome Scottish Premiership side Rangers to Old Trafford for what promises to be a high-octane affair.

 

Worst side

Manchester United have managed just three wins from their last eleven Premier League outings and this doesn’t make for great reading for Ruben Amorim, the Red Devils boss describing his side as ‘maybe the worst’ in the long history of the club. Amorim’s troops lost 3-1 to Brighton & Hove Albion at Old Trafford in their last outing and as things stand they sit in 13th position in the Premier League standings with just seven wins from their 22 league outings.

 

Fading fast

United’s chances of securing European football are fading fast, unless they emerge victorious in the Europa League. Indeed, this now appears to be the side’s only realistic chance of salvaging something from what has thus far been a hugely disappointing campaign, the Red Devils on course to bag themselves an automatic place in the last sixteen of the tournament. Thus far, Amorim’s men have avoided defeat in the Europa League but Rangers will provide them with a tough test at Old Trafford on Thursday evening.

 

Man under pressure

Philippe Clement is also a man under pressure as his Rangers side continue to struggle to narrow the sizeable gap between themselves and league leaders Celtic. Indeed, the Light Blues are realistically out of the running as far as the Scottish Premiership title is concerned although they have triumphed in each of their last three games with an aggregate scoreline of 11-1, albeit with five of these goals coming against Highland League side Fraserburgh in the Scottish Cup fourth round last time out.

 

Tough assignment

Rangers held Spurs to a 1-1 draw in their last European outing and victory here would boost their chances of making it through to the last sixteen of the tournament. This is always going to be a tough assignment for the visitors but given Manchester United’s poor form of late, we’ll be siding with Rangers to take a point from what promises to be an evenly-fought encounter.

 

Back a 1-1 draw at best odds of 9/1
