Manchester United will look to secure their first win of the 2024/25 Europa League season as they face PAOK at home on Thursday.

The Red Devils have shown signs of progress since Erik ten Hag’s departure, gaining momentum with a 5-2 win over Leicester in the EFL Cup and a hard-fought 1-1 draw against top-four contenders Chelsea in the Premier League.

PAOK, also in search of their first Europa League victory, have earned only one point from three matches. They come into this clash off the back of a 2-1 win over Lamia in the Greek Super League.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Man Utd vs. PAOK predicted lineups, team news

Bruno Fernandes is once again available for Manchester United after serving his one-match suspension. Mason Mount has also returned to training, although, it is more likely he will feature after the international break.

Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Kobbie Mainoo, Tyrell Malacia, Antony, and Leny Yoro are all confirmed to miss out on this match with injuries. Christian Eriksen will also face a late fitness test to be a part of the squad.

Man United predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Onana (GK) — Dalot, De Ligt, Martinez, Mazraoui — Ugarte, Casemiro — Diallo, Fernandes, Rashford — Zirkzee.

Injured: Yoro, Shaw, Mainoo, Maguire, Malacia, Antony, Eriksen (doubt)
Suspended: None

This game could potentially be a homecoming for ex-Manchester United academy graduate Shola Shoretire who joined PAOK this summer. The winger has so far made eight appearances for the Greek side.

Tiemoue Bakayoko will miss this match due to an injury which could see either of Mady Camara and Stefan Schwab start in midfield.

PAOK predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Kotarski (GK) — Jonny, Kedziora, Colley, Rahman — Camara, Ozdoyev — Despodov, Konstantelias, Taison — Chalov.

Injured: Bakayoko
Suspended: None

Man Utd vs. PAOK Prediction 

Manchester United will be facing PAOK for the first time, however, they have a 100% win record at home against Greek teams in the past.

The Red Devils still don’t look at their best, but they have shown more stability in the last two games. With the talent in their squad, they should brush off PAOK without getting out of second gear.
