Here is how we predict Manchester United and Fenerbahce will line up this week:

To be played on Thursday 3rd November 2016 at 18:00. Venue: Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium,

Odds: Fenerbahce 19/10, Draw 23/10, Man Utd 7/5

Manchester United's Henrikh Mkhitaryan in action

Manchester United travel to Turkey this week to take on Fenerbahce in their latest Europa League clash.

United ran out 4-1 winners in the reverse fixture last month, putting in one of their best displays of the season, but it will be a lot tougher away from home.

United continue to struggle for goals against more resilient defences, although they were downright unlucky not to score a hatful against Burnley on Saturday, and they will be desperate to get back to winning ways in Europe after struggling for much of the league campaign to date.

In early team news, United are without Eric Bailly and Antonio Valencia while Phil Jones has only just returned to first-team training.

There are also minor doubts regarding Anthony Martial and Chris Smalling although both are given a 75 per cent chance of being fit if called upon.

With that in mind here is how we expect United to line up later this week, with £26million summing signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan finally getting his chance to impress.
