After another disappointing outing in the Premier League, Man United will resume their Europa League campaign to turn their fortunes with a game against Viktoria Plzen. Both teams are currently in danger of dropping out of automatic qualification for the Round of 16.

Viktoria Plzen is currently on a winning streak, remaining unbeaten in their last seven matches across all competitions. 

However, their recent results against English clubs have not been encouraging. The hosts have lost both of their last European games against English sides and will be aiming to snap the run.

Meanwhile, nothing much has changed for Man United since the arrival of Ruben Amorim. The Red Devils enter this game on the back of a disappointing 3-2 loss against Nottingham Forrest.

However, their back-to-back wins in the European competition will give some moral boost to the visitors who will be desperate to get a result in their favour.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest team news.
