Man United’s Form
Nobody expected it to be easy for Amorim, but he’s gotten a considerable reminder of where this squad of players are when observing their back-to-back defeats against Nottingham Forest and Arsenal. There are glimpses of positive change throughout and Old Trafford was certainly not built in a day, but these are the sort of games United will be expected to win.
Their Europa League campaign has been underwhelming thus far albeit they remain undefeated. They opened the league phase with three successive draws coming in 1-1 against Twente, 3-3 against Porto and 1-1 against Fenerbahçe. However, they do have two wins in their last two Europa games with a 2-0 win over PAOK and a 3-2 comeback over Bode/Glimt.
This is another game on paper that United shouldn’t be struggling with regardless of system and personnel, but it never ends up being that easy does it?

Viktoria Plzeň v Man United Head-To-Head Results & Stats
This will be the first meeting between both sides.
Key Players To Watch
Pavel Šulc – Viktoria Plzeň
The Czech International (23) is a product of Plzeň Youth Academy and has been linked with the likes of Aston Villa, Tottenham and Man City due to his performances. This season he has 10 goals and 6 assists across 27 games in all competitions including 2 goals and 1 assist in 5 Europa League games.
He is priced at 9/1 to be the first goal scorer and 3/1 to score anytime.
Marcus Rashford – Man United
It’s coming up to a decade since Rashford (27) made his debut for the club and despite having 138 goals and 67 assists across his 425 games he still cuts a divisive figure for the inconsistency of his performances and perceived attitude issues on and off the pitch. The latest speculation suggests that the club could be open to selling him in January with fears that he may not be suited to the Amorim system.
Rashford can step up and be accounted for when under criticism and there would be no better time to add to his 7 goals and 3 assists in 23 games with a goal contribution in this game. He can be gotten at 11/2 to score first and 7/4 to score at any point.
Viktoria Plzeň v Man United Prediction & Best Bet
Prediction: Viktoria Plzeň 0-2 Man United
Viktoria Plzeň have nothing to lose in this game and will have the added advantage of being at home to try and earn themselves a result.
Back-to-back defeats is never an acceptable standard at Man United no matter the era and the fans will be expecting a massive step up in performance on Thursday Night.
Man United are unreliable, but they surely should make it a third successive Europa League win.
Best Bet: Man United Win + Under 3.5 Total Goals @ 6/4
