We call this photo, Manchester United are unbeaten in their last twelve major European matches against Portuguese clubs since losing 2-1 to Benfica in December 2005.

Portuguese club FC Porto will travel to Manchester United on Thursday for matchday two of the Europa League match.

The Portuguese giants welcome Manchester United to the Do Dragão Stadium.

Even though the Red Devils have booked a win for the Premier League match against Tottenham this weekend, and Manager Erik ten Hag is shaking for the club, they are still given hope of bouncing back.

The two coaches were working hard before the match.

And the purpose of the sound is to channel the frustration of Sunday’s defeat against Tottenham as motivation to beat FC Porto for the Europa League on Thursday evening.

“As always, if we don’t win, we are very disappointed,” I said at the press conference.

“Of course we are not happy with ourselves, especially when you see a match like Sunday. After all, we play with ten players for so long and then we have to cancel with a red card.

“It frustrates us because it takes a very long time to play with 10 players, and it’s not always to your advantage. It can have a real impact on the game. We’re going to deal with it. We’re not happy now, but from now on madness we get no motivation and no deal to deal with the next match.”

Meanwhile, Porto manager Vitor Bruno was cautious about the threat from Manchester United.

Even though Erik ten Hag loves Portugal as a “pipo wey dem tie Rope for Dia Necks”.

Manchester United will be hoping to return to winning ways in the Europa League after Tottenham beat them 3-0 in the Premier League match.

But Bruno says players shouldn’t look down on their opponents.

“I hear a lot of people say they should tie a rope around their necks,” Bruno said when asked about Manchester United’s form.

‘But no, no, we are just looking at our goal to reach the next phase.

‘We always see them as a threat, not as a good point to tackle them.

‘We just have to be ourselves, we have to look respectful, with a lot of respect, with a lot of people.

“I know you’re planning to talk about the last game, but we have to see that it’s not just the last game.”

Man Utd midfielder Mason Mount is off the team’s tour after taking a knock against Tottenham, but defender Harry Maguire will be unable to play for weekend fitness.

Midfielder Fabio Vieira, who we signed on a season-long loan from Arsenal in August, was also able to play the match.

According to UEFA, Porto and Manchester United will meet six times.

Six times, Porto wins one, Manchester United wins twice and they draw three times.

Porto scores five goals for all slide encounters, while Manchester United scores nine goals.

In the first meeting of the 1996/1997 season of the first leg of the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Manchester United defeated Porto 4-0 in front of Old Trafford.

The last time they met for the same Champions League quarter-finals was in the 2008/2009 season.

Before that match, Porto lost 0-1 to Manchester United.
