FCSB vs Man United Prediction, Lineups and Odds: Red Devils backed to make it five wins on the spin

Manchester United travel to FCSB tonight for their final Europa League league-phase clash, aiming for a fifth consecutive win in the competition and automatic qualification to the last 16.
However, the hosts won’t make it easy, sitting just one point behind and pushing for a top-8 finish of their own.
The game kicks-off shortly at 8pm and can be watched live on TNT Sports 1.
FCSB vs Man United Predictions
Manchester United have had a strong Europa League campaign despite drawing in each of their first three games. The Red Devils remain unbeaten in Europe this season and have won their last 4 Europa League games in a row. This has seen them emerge as 9/2 favourites for this year's Europa League.
However, their campaign has been far from perfect. As I mentioned earlier, they drew their first three games in a row, and out of their four wins in Europe this season, three were only won by a margin of one goal, including last week's dramatic game against Rangers. Their defence has been consistently shaky, and both teams have scored in six of United's seven games in the Europa League.
For FCSB, it has been quite the opposite, with both teams scoring in only two games out of seven. However, I am backing that to change this week. I expect United to win this game, but not without conceding at least one goal. This is a bet that has paid off in three of United's last four European games.

In what could well be his last game in a Man United jersey, I am backing Alejandro Garnacho to get at least two shots on target.
With only half a week left of the transfer window, Garnacho's future is still up in the air. Napoli and Chelsea are both interested in the player, and it looks as though United are open to selling the Argentinian if the right offer comes through.
It looks likely that Garnacho will be available for Thursday's clash, which could be his last game as a Manchester United player. I am backing Garnacho to pick up two or more shots on target, as I expect United to create multiple chances throughout the game. Creating shooting opportunities for himself is something Garnacho loves to do, and he usually chooses not to pass the ball if he feels he can work a shot for himself.
Garnacho should have plenty of time on the ball on Thursday, which could easily lead to him picking up 2+ shots on target.
FCSB vs Man United Lineups
Marcus Rashford has once again been left out of the Man Utd squad, while the injured Luke Shaw, Mason Mount, and Jonny Evans are also out.
FCSB are without their skipper Darius Olaru and Mihail Lixandru.
