Sheriff vs Manchester United LIVE highlights and reaction as Ronaldo scores penalty

Manchester United are set to play FC Sheriff in Moldova in the Europa League on Thursday night.

United began their Europa League campaign with a defeat against Real Sociedad at Old Trafford last week and Ten Hag's side will be desperate to bounce back against FC Sheriff, who convincingly beat Omonia 3-0 in their opening group stage fixture.

The Reds' match against Crystal Palace was postponed on Sunday and that means the players will be fresh heading into this game, although the travelling squad did not include Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Donny van de Beek, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial.
