Feyenoord will come into this clash bubbling with confidence. The Dutch side sit top of the Eredivisie with 15 points, having won all of their first five fixtures in the league.

Jose Mourinho's Manchester United will want to bounce back after a big loss in the Manchester derby last week. The Portuguese boss was not happy with his players after they were dominated by Manchester City for large parts of the match last weekend.

It’s a big game for…

Paul Pogba: The Frenchman became the world's most expensive player this summer when he made the move from Juventus to Manchester United.

The midfielder cost Manchester Utd £89 million and will have a lot of expectation on his shoulders. He is yet to score or assist in any of the games he has played for his new club this season.

Best stat…

Both Manchester United and Feyenoord have over 100 years of footballing history but they have only played each other twice in a two-legged Champions League group game in the 1997/98 season.

Remember when...

Andy Cole helped Manchester United beat Feyenoord 3-1 in the Champions League by scoring a hattrick in this group game clash.

Manchester United would go on to the quarter-finals where they were knocked out by the away goals rule to Monaco, having not actually lost either leg of the tie.

Player to watch…

Marcus Rashford: The young striker has answered every question asked of him so far in his senior career, both for Manchester United and England.

The young star scored on his Manchester United debut in the Europa League last season and will be relishing the chance to bag another one early on in this campaign.

Past meetings…

Manchester United 2 (Scholes, Irwin), Feyenoord 1 (Vos).

Champions League, October 1997.

Feyenoord 1 (Korneev), Manchester United 3 (Cole 3)

Champions League, November 1997.
