Manchester United are preparing to resume their Europa League campaign as Rúben Amorim prepare to play FC Viktoria Plzeň away from home.
Rúben Amorim will look to get his team back on track as they travel to face FC Viktoria Plzeň in the Europa League on Thursday evening.
The Reds face a demanding 2,300-kilometre round trip for the fixture, offering a prime opportunity to regain momentum and find their scoring touch following losses to Arsenal and Nottingham Forest.

United currently sit 12th in the standings with nine points, just one point behind Rangers in 8th—the final qualifying position for the next stage of the competition.
With matches against Plzeň, Rangers, and Fotbal Club FCSB remaining, United may need to win all three to secure their place in the top eight and progress further in the tournament.
The Europa League tie is set to be officiated by Romanian official Marian Alexandru Barbu.
Barbu has never officiated an English club, meaning Amorim will be the first United head coach to have a fixture officiated by the 36-year-old.
He mainly operates in the Romanian SuperLiga, the first-tier football competition of his home nation – where he has shown is not shy to show a yellow card, having given out 45 across 10 league fixtures.
While Cătălin Sorin Popa will be on VAR, information is yet to be found surrounding the assistants, fourth official, and assistant VAR.
