MANCHESTER UNITED return to Europa League action against Sheriff with the wind in their sails after recently snatching a point at Stamford Bridge.
Former Real Madrid star Casemiro scored a stoppage time header to spoil Chelsea’s party.
And as a result, United only remain a point off fourth-place Chelsea who both have ambitions of securing a top four spot at the end of the season.
However, Erik Ten Hag’s side will need more than just a point if they are to stand any chance of qualifying for the knock-out rounds as Group winners.
But first, they’ll need to navigate their way past a Sheriff side who caused the Red Devils problems in the reverse fixture.
