How to watch FC Porto vs Manchester United: TV channel, livestream, kick-off time, latest team news

Manchester United turn their attention back to the Europa League this week following their 3-0 Premier League defeat against Tottenham Hotspur on the weekend.

Erik ten Hag has endured a tough start to the season, with Manchester United winning just three of their first eight matches in all competitions.

Back-to-back 3-0 home losses to Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League have added to the pressure for the manager.

Despite exploring other managerial options, INEOS chose to back Ten Hag, extending his contract until 2026 and reports have now claimed that he will remain in charge for the next two games.

United’s first test out of those comes in the Europa League against FC Porto. Their first outing in the competition this season was a 1-1 draw against FC Twente last week.

While the new league format in the competition means that victory is not necessarily essential for United, Ten Hag and the team will feel that three points is must.

The game is back on the more traditional day of the week, Thursday, and will kick-off at 20:00 BST.
