Man United v Rangers Preview
Man United’s Form
If anyone believed that Ruben Amorim would have a smooth ride as he attempted to bring Man United back to their “glory days” of yesteryear which has become an increasingly fainter memory with every passing day.
Despite deep-rooted financial issues and a dysfunctional squad with a fragile capacity for motivation, there have been promising performances in recent weeks, especially against Liverpool, Arsenal and Man City. However, their defeat to Brighton at the weekend gave Amorim his daily dose that this job has a lot of issues yet to resolve.
United’s Europa League campaign commenced in underwhelming albeit undefeated fashion following three successive draws coming in 1-1 against Twente, 3-3 against Porto and 1-1 against Fenerbahçe. However, their European fortunes have improved in recent games with a 2-0 win over PAOK, a 3-2 win over Bodø/Glimt and a 2-1 victory against Viktoria Plzeň.
Victory should go a long way in achieving a seeded Round of 16 slot.

Rangers’ Form
Rangers progressed as a club in the 23/24 season, coming runner-up in both the SPL and Scottish Cup as well as winning the League Cup and reaching the Europa League Round of 16 stage. This season they trail Celtic by thirteen points in the SPL though they’ve closed the gap recently in part due to their 3-0 Old Firm Derby victory earlier this month.
They commenced their European adventure in the Champions League but were knocked out by Dynamo Kyiv 1-3 on aggregate in the third qualifying round. They opened the Europa with a 0-2 win over Malmo before losing 1-4 to Lyon.
Since then they’ve gone unbeaten with a 4-0 victory over FC SB, a 1-1 away draw to Olympiacos, a 1-4 win over Nice and a 1-1 home draw with Tottenham.
Rangers will leapfrog United in the league phase table with a win.

Key Players To Watch
Joshua Zirkzee – Man United
It’s been a topsy-turvy beginning to the career of Joshua Zirkzee (23) as a Manchester United footballer. This has been encapsulated best in the last month where he went from scoring a brace against Everton on the 1st of December to being booed by the Old Trafford crowd as he was subbed off in the 33rd minute of a 2–0 loss to Newcastle.
That moment could have broken Joshua, but right now it seems to have shown the measure of the man with his performances since that embarrassment a bright spark in an underfire United side with even the winning penalty against Arsenal.
Zirkzee has 4 Goals and 3 Assists in just 1226 minutes this season and with him likely to lead the line against Rangers he can be gotten at 4/1 to score first and 11/10 to score at any time.
Hamza Igamane – Rangers
The Moroccan U23 International (22) is having an impressive debut season at Rangers since signing from FAR Rabat he’s scored 13 goals and assisted 3 from 25 games in all competitions. He’s saved his best form for this competition too with 4 goals and 1 assist in 4 games.
He’s a well-rounded attacker both in and out of possession and his dribbling and finishing ability in particular could cause an unreliable United defence issues. He is priced at 9/1 to score first and 10/3 to score anytime.
Man United v Rangers Prediction & Best Bet
Prediction: Man United 2-0 Rangers
Man United put in another poor showing against Brighton at the weekend, but this game should be well within reach of their current skill set even if unpredictable.
Rangers have little to lose and everything to gain from this game and ironically tend to perform better when against the so-called “better” sides though that could be interpreted in multiple ways when coming against this United side.
Despite their contrasting formbooks, United should still be far too good for the Scottish side.
