Manchester United vs Villarreal: Predicted line-ups, Team News & Times

Check out the latest team news, predicted line-ups, and kick-off time as Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United face Villarreal in the Champions League.

Just over four months after losing to Villarreal in the Europa League final, Manchester United can get a spot of revenge when the two sides square off in the Champions League on Wednesday.

The Red Devils have lost three of their last four games in all competitions, including one to BSC Young Boys in their Champions League opener. They’re rock bottom in Group F with zero points.

Sealing three points on Wednesday is critical, although Villarreal are no pushover. The Yellow Submarine are one point above United in Group F in third place after drawing 2-2 with Atalanta in their first game.
