The pressure is on Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag as his misfiring side travel to Porto for this UEFA Europa League Matchday 2 clash.  The visitors were easily beaten 3-0 on home turf by Tottenham in the Premier League at the weekend -- a hugely disappointing defeat that came on the back of United letting slip a lead in a disappointing 1-1 draw with unfancied FC Twente in their opening fixture of this tournament.

A youthful Tottenham side maintained a perfect record in the Europa League with a 2-1 victory away at Ferencváros on Thursday, while Lazio also made it two wins out of two by routing Nice 4-1 at home.

Erik ten Hag’s future is under the microscope game by game, but he was saved from a hugely damaging defeat by Harry Maguire in stoppage time. Sir Jim Ratcliffe is planning to attend United’s next match at Villa Park, and he can at least expect plenty of entertainment.
