MANCHESTER UNITED return to Europa League action against Sheriff with the wind in their sails after recently snatching a point at Stamford Bridge.
Former Real Madrid star Casemiro scored a stoppage time header to spoil Chelsea’s party.
And as a result, United only remain a point off fourth-place Chelsea who both have ambitions of securing a top four spot at the end of the season.
However, Erik Ten Hag’s side will need more than just a point if they are to stand any chance of qualifying for the knock-out rounds as Group winners.
But first, they’ll need to navigate their way past a Sheriff side who caused the Red Devils problems in the reverse fixture.

What is the team news?
Erik Ten Hag would have been delighted to see Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Anthony Martial all return to training earlier this week.
However, Brandon Williams, Axel Tuenzebe and Donny van de Beek will still require more treatment.
And in a major blow to club and country, French international Raphael Varane was forced off at Stamford Bridge in tears due to a knee injury.
Elsewhere, Armel Zohouri will be forced to sit this one out having picked up a red card against Real Sociedad on matchday four.
But Iyayi Atiemwen and Moussa Kyabou should both return to the fold after serving suspensions of their own last time out.
