After collecting four points from their last two Premier League games, Manchester United would feel that they can secure a win over Juventus in this game as well.
The Red Devils almost picked up all three points when they visited Chelsea at the weekend, but a 96th-minute leveller from Ross Barkley distributed the spoils. They would now turn their attention to the Champions League.
They have collected 4 points from their opening two games against Young Boys and Valencia. Cristiano Ronaldo would be making a return to Old Trafford in this game and their fans would be hoping that he doesn’t make them pay for their sloppy defending.
Juventus also suffered dropped points at the weekend. The Old Ladies were held to a 1-1 draw by Genoa at home, a result that ended their ten games winning start to the season. They would be looking to bounce back when they visit Old Trafford here, and with Ronaldo returning from suspension, their chances have been boosted significantly.
They have won two of two Champions League games so far, with Manchester United considered their main rival for a top spot in this group, they would be doing all the can to earn maximum points from these next two games.
The last time these teams met was in the group stages of the 2003 Champions League with Manchester United winning both matches.
