How to watch Manchester United vs FC Porto
Manchester United take on FC Porto in their second UEFA Europa League match of the 2024/25 campaign.
Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United drew 1-1 against FC Twente and were perhaps fortunate not to lose the match despite Christian Eriksen firing the Red Devils in front.
Because of how the UEFA Europa League works this season, United’s draw against FC Twente is not the end of the world with the Red Devils playing eight group games in total.
After United’s 3-0 loss to Tottenham on the weekend, Ten Hag’s side must get things right at the Estadio De Dragao, or the external noise may get louder.
