Sheriff Tiraspol vs Man United confirmed line-ups: Team news ahead of Europa League fixture as Ronaldo starts

Erik ten Hag looks to bounce back in Europe after a setback against Real Sociedad

Manchester United travel to Sheriff Tiraspol tonight in pursuit of their first points of the Europa League group stage.

With Real Sociedad picking up the win at Old Trafford, United cannot afford to drop many more points if they hope to ease through Group E and lighten the load of their schedule.

With Leeds this weekend already postponed, it provides a last opportunity for Erik ten Hag to pick up more momentum before returning on 2 October against Manchester City.

It also provides another opportunity for Cristiano Ronaldo to prove he can adjust to the Dutch tactician.

Here’s everything you need to know about the match at the Zimbru Stadium in Chisinau.

Prediction
