Man United vs PAOK Prediction, Odds and Lineups: Bruno Fernandes tipped to score at Old Trafford
Manchester United will hope to find the winning formula that's eluded them so far in the Europa League when they host Greek side PAOK tonight, live on TNT Sports 2 at 8pm.
Man United vs PAOK Predictions
Although it's been far from perfect, Manchester United have looked better under Ruud Van Nistelrooy. After beating Leicester convincingly in the EFL Cup and earning a draw against a Chelsea side that looked much better this season, they are now looking for their first win of this Europa League campaign. It seems like the Europa League is their best chance of getting into the Champions League next season, so this game is a real must-win for United.
PAOK has been good in the Greek league this season; however, they have struggled in the Europa League, with two losses and a draw in three games. United should realistically have enough power in their squad to get past this PAOK side, and they will likely look to get it done as quickly as possible to rest some players for the weekend.
I expect United to get off to a quick start in this game and am backing them to win the first half by 2+ goals at odds of 13/5.

Since Ruud Van Nistelrooy took over as interim manager, Bruno Fernandes's performances and goal tally have seen a clear boost. The Portuguese midfielder has found the net three times in just two games following Ten Hag's departure, showing a renewed sharpness and confidence on the field. With United set to face a lower-tier opponent in PAOK, Bruno is well-positioned to keep this momentum going and potentially add to his goal count.
Given his recent form, and with PAOK's squad not quite matching United’s level, the odds of 41/20 for Bruno to score seem like great value. With three goals already in two games, there’s a strong chance he’ll find the net once again.
