Viktoria Plzen vs Man Utd LIVE SCORE: Europa League updates as Amorim’s side look to secure third straight win in Europe
View from Sun Sport's Neil Custis in Czechia
Manchester United came into the game on a real low on the back of two defeats and yet more uncertainty at the club after Sporting Director Dan Ashworth’s departure.
The club has never been at a lower point than this in the last decade and are in desperate need of a few wins to lift the mood around the club.
New boss Ruben Amorim also rightly pinpoints the need to get into the top eight of the Europa League to avoid a two-legged play-off in their busy schedule.
Tyrell Malacia was called up for another start after a lengthy period injured on the sidelines. His Previous two this season resulted in him being taken off at half-time.
With news coming out in the media that Sir Jim Ratcliffe is planning on putting the price of tickets at Old Trafford up, he is not seeming to be the Messiah everyone thought he was.
Staff Christmas bonuses shelved for vouchers instead, a massive cull of the employees working in and around the club and now prices set to increase.
Before coming into Man Utd, Sir Jim Ratcliffe talked about the fans a lot but now they just seem to be a sponge to be squeezed further.
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has revealed how important it is for his side to avoid a the play-off rounds.
"It's really, really important for us as a club, as a team in this moment if you pass to the next (knockout) stage without having to go to a play-off, you take two games from our schedule.
"It's massive. For some teams it is nothing. For us it is really, really, really important.
"But we are facing a team that maybe a lot of people in England don't know the name of, but they are unbeaten at home in Europe."
