Manchester United

Manchester United secured their place in the round of 16 after beating Villarreal on matchday 3.

The Red Devils would look to wrap up the group stage by going unbeaten for five games in a row and also avenge their setback against Young Boys in the reverse fixture.

Ralf Rangnick’s era has begun with a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace Sunday’s Premier League game and now he is set to ply his trade in the Champions League.

The German manager is likely to rest some of the key names like David De Gea and Cristiano Ronaldo for Wednesday’s clash and there could be fresh faces like Teden Mengi in the starting eleven.

Luke Shaw and Edinson Cavani remain doubtful for the clash while Paul Pogba and Raphael are once again sidelined with injuries.

Possible Man Utd line-up

Dean Henderson; Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Teden Mengi, Eric Bailly, Alex Telles; Nemanja Matic, Donny Van de Beek; Mason Greenwood, Juan Mata, Jadon Sancho; Anthony Martial

Injured: Paul Pogba, Raphael Varane

Doubtful: Luke Shaw, Edinson Cavani

Suspended: None

Young Boys

Young Boys started the campaign on an impressive note by stunning Man Utd 2-1 at home.

However, they have managed only one draw and three defeats in the following games.

They are bottom of the table with 6 points and fighting for a place in the Europa League.

The Swiss minnows have to beat Man Utd and hope for Atalant to lose against Villarreal in order to seal a spot in the Europa League.

Their domestic form has been disappointing this season, as they have managed only one win in their last five games.

Possible Young Boys line-up: Faivre; Hefti, Burgy, Lauper, Lefort; Aebischer, Martins, Rieder; Elia, Siebatcheu, Ngamaleu

Injured: David von Ballmoos, Cedric Zesiger, Christian Fassnacht, Jean-Pierre Nsame, Ulisses Garcia, Felix Mambimbi

Doubtful: None

Suspended: None

Prediction

Man Utd 2 – 0 Young Boys
