Manchester United face a tough test then they travel to the AFAS Stadion to take on AZ in Thursday’s Europa League clash.
The Alkmaar-based outfit are currently just a point off the top in the Eredivisie and have lost only once in 15 matches in all competitions so far this season.

AZ vs Manchester United team news
Albert Gudmundsson is unavailable after going off injured in Sunday’s win over Heracles, while Jonas Svensson is suspended following his red card in the opening draw with Partizan.
Anthony Martial and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are unlikely to feature due to injury and illness respectively, although Luke Shaw may make an appearance as he recovers from the hamstring problem that has kept him out for over a month.
AZ vs Manchester United preview
The Red Devils’ lack of cutting edge was laid bare once again at Old Trafford on Monday, when they failed to score more than a single goal in a game for the 18th time in 21 fixtures.
Coming into this clash on the back of three consecutive clean sheets and having conceded just twice in seven home games this season, Arne Slot’s men will certainly back themselves to hold strong against their misfiring opponents.
AZ vs Manchester United predictions
Having conceded only eight times in eight matches themselves this campaign, odds of 5/6 (1.83) look like solid value on helping to ensure under 2.5 goals for their 12th game in 14.
