FCSB vs Manchester United Predictions

• FCSB are unbeaten in their last four Europa League games.
• Manchester United have drawn two of their three away games in this competition.

Red Devils set for tough trip to Bucharest

Manchester United clinched their third win in four games on Sunday, but the improving results over the past few weeks belie their persistently subpar performances.

They required a deflected Lisandro Martinez goal to beat Fulham, an injury time winner against Rangers last week, and an eight-minute hat-trick from Amad Diallo to undeservedly beat rock-bottom Southampton earlier this month.

Despite all this, Ruben Amorim’s side have a two-point cushion in the Europa League top eight, and the 40-year-old may use this trip to Bucharest as an opportunity to rest some of his regulars.

FCSB are a little less safe in their pursuit of automatic qualification to the round of 16, sitting eighth in the league phase and almost certainly needing to boost their points tally to fend off the pack of 12 teams that could conceivably dump them into the play-offs.

The Romanian side are unbeaten in their last four in this competition and have taken seven points from a possible nine at the Arena Natjonala. They look good value to get something from a Manchester United side that have drawn two of their three Europa League trips, and a repeat of their 1-1 draw at Fenerbahce looks a solid correct score option.
