Evening all, and welcome to Manchester United v Fudbalski klub Partizan!

Not often you see Manchester United and modest in the same sentence.

Lee Miller's legacy is in safe hands.

The intention is good, but does they know how to do it? Does he know how teach them to? Does anyone?

The visitors training last night.

The other note of note is that Brandon Williams, a fixture in United's cup sides, is on the bench tonight. That because - most likely - he'll play in the league on Sunday, because Ashley Young is suspended. If things go well, that might be the start of a long career in the first team - given United are building and he looks ready, you might argue it should've already happened, and not needed a ban to force the issue.

It's no surprise to see Sergio Romero come in for David de Gea, nor that Harry Maguire starts - though he's yet to prove himself as such, he is deemed irreplaceable. I'm surprised that James Garner isn't playing, and I'd have rested Scott McTominay, who had his least effective game for ages against Bournemouth at the weekend. I suppose if you don't play Juan Mata in a game like this, there's no point having him - you might think it, I couldn't possibly comment - and Mason Greenwood gets a start, though not in the middle where he should play, because Anthony Martial needs to keep going. I'm a little surprised Rashford hasn't been rested, but if United win tonight he can sit out the remaining two group games.

And that United team, then.

If I remember correctly, Soumah was the danger-man last time.

Partizan haven't done us the courtesy of a Twitter account - how dare they - but they line up thusly: Stojkovic, Urosevic, Pavlovic, Ostojic, Miletic, Asano, Scekic, Zdjelar, Natkho, Sadiq, Soumah.

Teams!

United's 1-0 win in Belgrade a fortnight ago put them in charge of this group. If they win tonight they're into the next stage, and they really ought to. Partizan are not a good team - though they do have a few individuals able to produce moments - and home advantage ought to make a difference.

Ought to. United have scored just twice in three Europa League games, at their worst lack guile, verve and imagination, and struggle to keep clean sheets. Do not expect entertainment.
