How to watch FC Porto vs. Man United in UK: Live stream, TV channel, start time, lineups for Europa League match image
Looking to bounce back from a bruising Premier League loss, Manchester United head to the Estadio do Dragao for their second Europa League clash of the season, where they will face Portuguese heavyweights Porto on Thursday night.
Erik ten Hag’s men were undoubtedly seen as one of the frontrunners for the tournament before a ball was even kicked this season, but they stumbled out of the gates with a lackluster 1-1 draw against FC Twente.
Things went from bad to worse as the Red Devils were handed a heavy 3-0 defeat on home turf by Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, with captain Bruno Fernandes receiving the marching orders for a reckless tackle.

In stark contrast, Porto cruised to a commanding 4-0 win over Arouca in the Primeira Liga, showcasing their dominant league form. The home side has been in fine shape domestically, suffering just one defeat in their first seven matches. However, they are still on the hunt for their first Europa League win, having fallen short in their opening fixture away to Bodo/Glimt.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

FC Porto vs. Man United predicted lineups, team news
Manchester United come into this game without the services of injured defensive duo Leny Yoro and Luke Shaw. Kobbie Mainoo, Mason Mount, Harry Maguire, and Tyrell Malacia are all doubts for this clash.
Christian Eriksen could partner with Manuel Ugarte in the midfield pivot. Under-fire boss Erik ten Hag will be eager to secure a positive result here, so he’s likely to field a strong lineup. Expect Lisandro Martinez and Matthijs de Ligt to retain their spots in the backline, while Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes are set to feature prominently up front.
Meanwhile, Rasmus Hojlund is pushing for a starting role now that he’s shaken off his injury and could replace Joshua Zirkzee.
Man United predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Onana (GK) — Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot — Eriksen, Ugarte — Diallo, Fernandes, Rashford — Hojlund.
Injured: Yoro, Shaw, Mainoo (doubt), Mount (doubt), Maguire (doubt), Malacia (doubt)
Suspended:
Zaidu Sanusi and Ivan Marcano will remain on the sidelines for Porto for their clash with Man United. Otavio is also a major doubt having missed three of their last games.
Samu Omorodion has been in top form since joining Porto this summer and will be flanked by Pepe and Galeno in attack.
FC Porto predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Costa (GK) — Mario, Pedro, Perez, Moura — Gonzalez, Varela — Pepe, Sousa, Galeno — Omorodion.

Suspended: None
FC Porto vs. Man United Prediction
Manchester United and FC Porto have locked horns eight times in the past, with the Red Devils holding a slight edge, having claimed victory in three encounters, while Porto have emerged triumphant twice, and the spoils have been shared on three occasions.
Given United’s recent struggles to carve open defenses, this match could very well end in a stalemate. It’s a tricky challenge for the Red Devils, who have yet to consistently impress and prove themselves in recent weeks.
Prediction: FC Porto 1-1 Man United
