As part of Matchday 1 of the Champions League league phase, Manchester United and Sabah FK face off this Thursday at Old Trafford. Marking their long-awaited return to Europe's top competition, the Red Devils are under more pressure than ever to deliver. They'll get the chance to kick things off in front of their home fans against one of the UCL's underdogs. The team coached by Michael Carrick will be looking to live up to its status in what could turn into a high-scoring match.
This marks the first time in its history that Sabah FK will compete in the Champions League. Off to a strong start domestically, the Azerbaijani club shone during UCL qualifying, making it through 3 rounds to punch their ticket to the league phase. Now, Valdas Dambrauskas's side arrives with nothing to lose. Still, taking on a Premier League heavyweight in their tournament debut, they'll have their work cut out for them.
