Manchester United vs PAOK Thessaloniki Prediction & Picks - Europa League

It's time Manchester United woke up! Such a great English club with three points from four games is an anomaly. Having parted company with Erik ten Hag following an accumulation of poor results, MU seems to be coming back to life under Ruud Van Nistelrooy. After a comfortable 5-2 win over Leicester City in the EFL Cup, and a good point against Chelsea in the league, the Red Devils are aiming for another victory at Old Trafford. Led by a top-class Bruno Fernandes over the last 180 minutes and Casemiro's resurgence in midfield, the Mancunians can look forward to better days in the European Cup. In such an important encounter, the Rashford - Garnacho duo can't hide, as the objective is to offer the red and blacks three points. 

Manchester United must be wary, however, as a European fixture is never easy to negotiate. PAOK travel to the North of England in search of a third consecutive win in all competitions, something they haven't achieved since late August/early September. What's more, Razvan Lucescu's men have won twice on the road, so confidence is high ahead of the 90 minutes. By maintaining their current level of play, the Double-Headed Eagle can look forward to a fine evening in the Kingdom.
