Manchester United have already had one big European victory to celebrate this week. You know the one. You know why. It’s not much of a leap.

That’s not to say they couldn’t do with an actual win of their very own, though. United are currently 22nd in the Europa League megatable, after draws of varying degrees of ropiness against Twente, Porto and Fenerbahce. The feelgood factor might be back at Old Trafford in the wake of Erik ten Hag’s dismissal and Ruben Amorim’s impending arrival, but that won’t stop the mood momentarily descending again should United fail to see off the Panthessalonian Athletic Club of Constantinopolitans, who may be the reigning Greek champions but are currently 30th in the Europa League table after two losses and a draw; have only won three of their last nine matches in all competitions, losing four; and are 190th in this season’s official Uefa rankings, a full 143 places below their esteemed hosts†. Having said all that, United can’t take anything for granted, given their own shocking form: just two wins in their last ten in all competitions. They’re hot favourites tonight, but then we’ve said that before. Kick-off is at 8pm GMT. It’s on!

main events
All early kickoffs have ended. A series of results including a 3-2 defeat for Spurs at Galatasaray and a 1-1 draw for Rangers at Olympiakos. All of this means that the Europa League Distend-O-Table™ will look like this before United and PAOK start playing. Both of tonight's Old Trafford combatants dropped several places as a result of their heated competition. You have 90 minutes to correct your mistake!
Ruud van Nistelrooy told TNT Sports. “Good memories…the most important thing is to get the players back to their best condition…a lot happened…the result was not good…there was a lot of pressure on them…I have time to make big changes. “My relationship with the team is very good…As assistant manager you are closer to the players than the manager…So it helps me a lot now…We really work well together. We did…Come on, we have four games together, let's make the most of it…Get the best possible result…Confidence is very important in football…It affects performance and style…Leicester match So we scored four goals in the first half, and wow, another great attacking style has emerged… That's stupid, what is confidence in football? When you get results, it's like a million dollars for a striker… Players have to believe…Rasmus is working hard on his hold-up play…Casemiro and Ugarte can communicate well…They control the moment We are pressing…They are very It's working well for us, so we're benefiting from it. ”
He was also asked when he would know whether he would stay under Reuben Amorim and, as expected, gave a blunt answer. “I'm focused on this, hopefully soon!”
I have some old friends on the PAOK team. Most notable for United fans is 20-year-old winger Shola Shoretire, who joined PAOK in the summer after his contract at Old Trafford expired. He's on the bench. Former Chelsea player Baba Rahman and Wolves defender Jonny started, with fellow pensioner Tiemoue Bakayoko a sub. However, there is simply no room for former Southampton and Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren.
Ruud van Nistelrooy has been made the penultimate starter as Manchester United's caretaker manager, meaning the beloved former striker will make three changes following the 1-1 draw with Chelsea. . Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans replace Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez on the back line, while Amad Diallo replaces Marcus Rashford up front. All three players returning from injury are on the bench, with Christian Eriksen and Mason Mount returning from injury.

preamble
Manchester United have already scored a big win in Europe this week. you know it. You probably know why. It's not that big a leap.
However, that doesn't mean they couldn't actually win. United currently sit 22nd in the Europa League mega table, despite suffering varying degrees of difficulty against Twente, Porto and Fenerbahce. Following the sacking of Erik ten Hag and the impending arrival of Ruben Amorim, a player in good spirits may return to Old Trafford, but that doesn't mean United are at the mercy of Panthesalonian Athletic Club. If you can't see off ・Of Constantinopolitan, you won't be able to stop the mood from temporarily dropping again. The current Greek champions are currently 30th in the Europa League with two losses and one draw. They have won only three of their last nine matches in all competitions, but have lost four. And it's 190th place Official UEFA rankings for this season143 places below Respected Host†. That said, United cannot take anything for granted given their shocking record of just two wins in their last 10 games. They're a popular favorite tonight, but I've said it before. Kick-off is at 8pm GMT. It's on!
† For the record, uefa's full coefficients are much more healthy at 49 and 15, respectively.
