What the expert says...
Erik ten Hag's Manchester United sit just behind Tottenham in the betting market
Manchester United are the second favourites to win the Europa League despite struggling in the competition so far with two draws in their opening two games.
United were 2-0 up against Porto last time out in Europe but ended up drawing 3-3 away in Portugal with pressure mounting on Erik ten Hag after that match.
The United manager now heads to Turkey this week to face former Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho and Fenerbahce in what will be an intriguing game.
