Solskjaer's men sensationally lost at home to Aston Villa (0-1), and Bruno Fernandes failed to convert the penalty in added time.

Villarreal can boast of the fact that it has not yet lost in the current season. The Yellow Submarine lost to Chelsea in the UEFA Super Cup final, but only on penalties. In LaLiga, the club gained five draws and only one victory, so now it takes only 11th place. But there is also a game in hand, thanks to which the gap from the top four can be reduced to three points. In the last round, Unai Emery's men withstood away against the championship leader Real Madrid (0-0). Villarreal started the Champions League season with a home draw against Atalanta (2-2). Four players will not be able to take the field for various reasons in the upcoming match.
The opponents have a fascinating history of head-to-head confrontations. Manchester United and Villarreal have crossed paths four times in the Champions League, and all matches ended with a score of 0-0. Another game took place in the previous season, and then the clubs tied 1-1. But they had to determine the winner in a penalty shootout, as it was the Europa League final, and the players of Villarreal turned out to be more accurate. The Red Devils are considered favorites in the upcoming match, but a very tenacious and uncomfortable opponent will face them. Bookmakers do not strongly believe that Villarreal will be able to withstand in this game. We suggest not to go into the outcomes but to bet on Over 2.5 goals scored. Yes, the visitors will try to shut out, but we still expect a large number of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
