Portovs.Man Utd

Erik ten Hag takes his side to Estadio do Dragao on the back of a 3-0 reverse at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur.

The Red Devils were thoroughly outclassed by the North Londoners, who condemned them to a third defeat in six Premier League fixtures during 2024-25.

Having also only posted a 1-1 draw with FC Twente in their first match of this competition, Ten Hag is under pressure to deliver a bounce-back win.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man United's injury and suspension news ahead of their contest with the Primeira Liga giants.
