Red Devils will hope to turn around their woeful Old Trafford form in ‘Battle of Britain’ clash
The Europa League hosts another eagerly-anticipated ‘Battle of Britain’ clash at Old Trafford tonight. Having fought to a tight draw with Tottenham at Ibrox last month, Rangers now head south of the border hoping to exploit a Manchester United side who have been largely dismal at home of late - with manager Ruben Amorim making headlines after Sunday’s defeat to Brighton by claiming his team were maybe the worst in the club’s history.
United have lost four of their last five games at home, though Europe has offered respite for Amorim so far with two opening wins to have them on course for automatic qualification for the last 16. They begin the night in seventh with 12 points and no defeats, with Rangers only a place and a point behind them after an encouraging season of their own on the continent that has come amid a hugely disappointing domestic campaign under Philippe Clement.
Rangers - who lost a pre-season friendly to United last summer - have never beaten or even scored a goal against this evening’s opponents in four previous meetings, while they have not won a European tie in England for more than 32 years. Follow Manchester United vs Rangers live below!
