Manchester United take on the visitors PAOK in the round 4 match of UEFA Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, November 7th at Old Trafford (Manchester).
Manchester United likely should have made this move over the summer. There were plenty of reasons to show Ten Hag the door despite his strong first year in England. With a last-place finish in their Champions League group and a fall to eighth in the Premier League—what else could you call it but a failure? However, Erik did win the FA Cup, which extended his tenure. The decision was ultimately made only after nine rounds of the new Premier League season, in which United won just three games and earned 11 points, leaving them in 14th place. Ten Hag’s replacement is expected next week, possibly Amorim, but for now, Van Nistelrooy is stepping in. Additionally, United has drawn all three of their Europa League group stage matches so far, against Twente, Porto, and Fenerbahçe.

PAOK also facing a slump this season. The Double-Headed Eagles of the North reclaimed the championship title after a five-year break, and owner Savvidis reinforced the team with a new wave of players. Thessaloniki welcomed talents like Tissoudali, Shoretire, Chalov, Cabezas, Collie, Gomez, and even Bakayoko and Lovren. Yet, the season started off poorly, including on the European stage. After progressing past Borac Banja Luka in the Champions League, they lost to Malmö (3-4 at home following a 2-2 draw away). In the Europa League qualifiers, they defeated Shamrock Rovers twice, but then lost 1-3 to Galatasaray away and 0-1 to Steaua at home. They also trailed by two goals at home to Viktoria Plzeň but managed a draw after gaining a numerical advantage on the field.
This will be the first visit to Old Trafford for PAOK from Thessaloniki. It’s time for the Red Devils to secure a confident victory. Back United, rejuvenated under Ruud, to win with a -1.5 goal handicap.
Prediction for the match: Manchester United to win with -1.5 handicap.
