Juventus vs Manchester United preview – can Jose Mourinho mastermind a shock win in Turin?

Who United need to look out for in this Juventus side
Not much has changed for Juventus since last time. They have continued their record-breaking start to the season, and remain unbeaten in Seria A, with 11 wins and a single draw.
Former Manchester United man Cristiano Ronaldo will obviously be the key danger on Wednesday. Since leaving Real Madrid for Turin, the Portugal international has netted seven times in 11 league games. Although he didn’t score against United in the previous fixture, he was a threat for the full 90 minutes. If Victor Lindelof or Chris Smalling switch off for just a second at the Allianz Stadium, we could be in deep trouble.
In my preview for the previous game against Juventus, I predicted that Dybala would be a threat from inside the box. However, I overlooked another key player – Juan Cuadrado. The ex-Chelsea man wreaked havoc on United’s defence at Old Trafford, and will need to be marked carefully this time in order keep his playmaking capabilities to a minimum.
