Manchester United are looking to get the better of Omonia once again in the Europa League as Erik ten Hag looks to capitalise on good form.

After the 6-3 loss to Manchester City, some were worried about the affect it could have on the team's moral, however back-to-back come backs have shown otherwise.

Last Thursday against Omonia, Manchester United went 1-0 down, however two goals from Marcus Rashford and one from Anthony Martial saw a second half come back grab all three points.

Similarly, after going 1-0 behind against Everton, two goals from Antony and Cristiano Ronaldo before the end of the first half saw the Red Devils end victorious.

After getting his Premier League scoring season under way, Ronaldo is expected to start against Omonia.

This is coupled with the injury to Martial, who despite collecting an assist against Everton for Antony's goal, had to be substituted in the first half.

Speaking on Ronaldo, Erik ten Hag said in a recent press conference on Wednesday: "I want to support him as good as possible.

"We have certain demands from players, what we expect in certain positions. I want to get the best out of him, he's in better shape now and I'm happy with that."

The back four and goalkeeper is most likely going to remain the same as the Everton fixture due to a mix of injuries and Luke Shaw's good form.

The midfield could see a two changes, with Bruno Fernandes keeping his place, however there could well be a change that re-introduces Fred and Scott McTominay to the XI.

Casemiro, despite his Man of the Match performance against Everton, he may be rested for the Newcastle match next Sunday.

Rashford was on good form against Everton, and will likely retain his position on the left.

This is similar to Antony on the right, who has been on great goalscoring form in the Premier League so far, breaking a Manchester United record against Everton.

After being substituted on after the Martial injury on Sunday, Ronaldo's very well taken goal and Martial injury will no doubt put him in pole position to start up front against Omonia.

The full predicted XI is below.
