Juventus travel to England for an incredible clash against Manchester United in the Champions League. The Red Devils have managed to turn their fortunes slightly after a win against Newcastle and a valuable draw at Chelsea, while Juve are yet to taste defeat this season.
Jose Mourinho should be aware of the magnitude of this game and a win can go a long way in helping us qualify for the next round. The Portuguese seemed to be in a happy mood during the training session.
Luke Shaw has been exceptional for United this season and the Englishman has to be at his best if we are to keep Juventus from scoring at Old Trafford.
Speaking of scoring, Romelu Lukaku needs a goal or two after making a sedate start to the season at Old Trafford.
Ander Herrera might not start against the Old Lady but he could have a part to play from the bench if required.
Nemanja Matic was decent against Chelsea and his defensive ability will be vital as he protects our back four. The Serbian was pictured with Antonio Valencia and it will be interesting to see if the Ecuadorian starts on Tuesday.
Two of our stars who need to step up are Paul Pogba and David De Gea. The pair weren’t great at Stamford Bridge but must bring their A-Game against the Serie A leaders.
Marcus Rashford hasn’t scored many goals for United this season but his speed and trickery could help us unlock the Juve defence. Lee Grant was pictured alongside the Englishman. However, it is unlikely for the keeper to start on Tuesday night.
Juventus will be a tough side to play against, and hopefully, we will be able to pick up three points and continue our progress under Mourinho.
