Man Utd vs Rangers Tips
Tip 1
Although Rangers are well off the pace of their Old Firm rivals Celtic in the Scottish Premiership, they’ve produced some excellent performances in the Europa League this season including away wins over Malmo and Nice, losing just one of their first six fixtures in the competition.
To say Manchester United are vulnerable at the moment is an understatement. United have won just one of their last eight games in normal time and that victory came against the Premier League’s bottom club in Southampton. This torrid run has included home defeats to Newcastle, Brighton and Bournemouth.
Although on paper there is an obvious gap in quality between these two squads, that hasn’t stopped several teams from taking points from Manchester United this season and a Rangers outfit that are unbeaten in seven in all competitions – and unbeaten in four in the Europa League, will fancy their chances of avoiding defeat again here.
Tip 2
Cyriel Dessers is one of the men to watch in the attacking areas for Rangers. The Nigerian international has 15 goals to his name in all competitions now after his hat-trick against Fraserburgh in the Scottish Cup at the weekend and he’ll be out to help his club cause a shock at Old Trafford on Thursday night.
The 30 year old has averaged 1.8 shots per 90 minutes in the Europa League so far but against a vulnerable Red Devils backline, I can see the Teddy Bears using Dessers as a target on the counter attack which could see him taking a few attempts at goal in the process.
