Fenerbahce vs Manchester United score predicted as Europa League fixture sees late drama

Manchester United will be looking to win their first game in the Europa League this season when they face Fenerbahce.

After a tough run that saw United go five games without a win across all competitions, Erik ten Hag's side returned from the international break with a big three points in the Premier League, beating Brentford 2-1 at Old Trafford. The victory may have lifted a little pressure off the shoulders of Ten Hag, but United will be desperate for a first three points in the Europa League later today.

United were held to a 3-3 draw away to Porto in their last Europa League outing, with Ten Hag's side having drawn both their opening Europa League games so far this season.
