Meanwhile, the Red Devils are aiming to bounce back after drawing both of their previous fixtures.
Fenerbahçe's form this season hasn't been all roses. Despite knocking out Lille in the Champions League playoff, they're currently fourth in the Super Lig, trailing Galatasaray by eight points with a game in hand. Mourinho's side recovered from a 3-1 home loss to the league leaders with a 2-1 win against Royal Union Saint-Gilloise in the Europa League. They battled to a 1-1 draw against FC Twente in their most recent match.

The Fenerbahçe Line-up
Mourinho will boast a solid squad for this crucial match. Edin Dzėko is expected to lead the line up front, with clever trickster Allan Saint-Maximin likely to join the starting XI after netting off the bench in their last game. Caglar Soyuncu will most likely return to the defense as well.
Motivation for Fenerbahçe
This match will be a personal battle for some, such as Fred and Sofyan Amrabat, who will be keen to make a statement against their former club. The Turkish side will be brimming with determination to secure a win, so be prepared to see them play to the very end if they take the lead.

Man Utd's Challenging Season
Despite beating Brentford 2-1 in their last outing, Manchester United have faced struggles this season, including a five-match winless streak and early losses to Brighton and Liverpool. They kicked off their Europa League campaign with a 1-1 draw at home to FC Twente before a 3-0 home loss to Tottenham.
The Man Utd Line-up
Manchester United are expected to field a strong side without Bruno Fernandes, who's suspended. Erik ten Hag must decide whether to replace Fernandes with Jonny Evans and who else will step up for a pivotal match.
