The Reds host the Moldovan side at Old Trafford on Thursday night, looking to follow up on Saturday’s draw with Chelsea with a win, as Erik ten Hag aim for top spot in Group E.

Kick-off against Sheriff is set for 20:00 BST.

Ahead of an important fixture, as far as our European campaign is concerned, you can play our Predictions game now in the United App and have a guess at Erik’s starting line-up, the Reds' potential first goalscorer and Man of the Match for a chance to win prizes.

MAN OF THE MATCH

Three Reds dominate the top picks for our Man of the Match award, with Cristiano Ronaldo leading the way on 22 per cent.

The increasingly impressive Casemiro is not far behind with 17 per cent, while Bruno Fernandes has 16 per cent of the vote.

Christian Eriksen and Antony are both in double figures for their percentages too, which only highlights the distribution of responsibility in Ten Hag’s squad.

FIRST SCORER

At the time of writing, Ronaldo is out in front as the player most fans are backing to be our first goalscorer against Sheriff.

The Portuguese striker scored in the return fixture against the Moldovan side and will be keen to add to his tally on Thursday night.

Cristiano, who has 39 per cent of the vote, is closely followed by Antony and Rashford, on 23 and 20 per cent respectively.
