Match Prediction

Everything points to a Manchester United victory in Russia on Thursday, but Rostov will not make it easy. The quality of United will probably be enough to break down the side and come out with a 2-0 victory.

The Red Devils will be susceptible to the counter-attack, but the pace of Smalling, along with Young will stall any attack that Rostov might have. This could be a tight affair in the beginning, but United will be up for this one.
