I don’t see them winning this today, they’ll be humiliated again either they like it or not”, Frank Lampard reveals His prediction for Manchester United vs Porto game today

They won’t win this today, in my opinion, and whether they want it or not, they will be humiliated once more. Frank Lampard shares his pick for today’s Manchester United vs. Porto match.

The Erik ten Hag cycle is currently in full force, with United going through yet another slump after a brief upswing. In their league phase debut, the Red Devils were held at home by FC Twente. The next weekend, they lost 3-0 at Tottenham after putting on a disgusting show.

Ten Hag may not have much time to save his job after United’s dismal performance during the October international break, which is only two games away, as the team continues to lack inspiration and identity under their current manager. After arriving back from Portugal on Sunday, his side departs for Villa Park.

Following Sergio Conceicao’s summer departure, Vitor Bruno, a longtime assistant, has taken over as manager of Porto. Bruno’s domestic record has only been marred by a 2-0 loss to champions Sporting CP on the road; nevertheless, Porto also suffered a loss to Bodo/Glimt in their inaugural league phase match last week.

On Thursday night, Porto will be without injured players Ivan Marcano and Zaidu Sanusi once more. Still, the two are nearing the end of their recovery from anterior cruciate ligament rupture.

The other injury issue for the home team is Otavio, the center-back, who may miss the game for the fourth straight after sustaining a muscle ailment.

Fabio Vieira, an Arsenal loanee, may be able to start after making his injury return over the weekend. Samu Omorodion, whom Chelsea pursued during the summer before he signed with the Portuguese team, will likely start at center midfield.

Man Utd vs. Porto probable lineup
Costa; Mario, Pedro, Perez, Moura; Gonzalez, Varela; Pepe, Vieira, Galeno; Omorodion is Porto’s expected starting lineup against Manchester United (4-2-3-1).

During their terrible loss to Tottenham over the weekend, the visitors suffered a few more injuries.

Unlike Mason Mount, who sustained a knock and a head injury in the last outing, Kobbie Mainoo has traveled with the team despite limping off shortly after Bruno Fernandes’ red card for an undisclosed ailment.

Leny Yoro, Luke Shaw, and Tyrell Malacia are remain out of the lineup for Ten Hag, and Harry Maguire was sidelined on Sunday due to an injury.

Christian Eriksen might move into midfield to assist Manuel Ugarte, the former Sporting CP midfielder, while Rasmus Hojlund could take Joshua Zirkzee’s place up top.

Man Utd’s matchup prediction versus Porto
Man Utd’s anticipated lineup against Porto (4-2-3-1) is as follows: Onana; Diallo, Fernandes, Rashford; Hojlund; Eriksen, Ugarte; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot.

Man Utd vs. Porto score prediction
Ten Hag has managed to win when it mattered most to save his position, but how can you support this United team to go into the Dragao and pull off a victory? They are jumbled up.

The mess on Sunday needs to be addressed, but in recent years, far more capable and self-assured teams have battled at Porto. Consider the previous season’s Arsenal.

Even with the departure of Conceicao and seasoned defender Pepe, Porto is still a strong and uncompromising team with excellent midfield balance and potent outlets. The hosts are playing for a major prize, so they should capitalize on United’s problems on Thursday.

Forecast: Man Utd 2-1 Porto
