Preview: Manchester United vs Sabah FK
Manchester United return to Champions League football for the first time since 2023 when they welcome Sabah FK to Old Trafford. Michael Carrick's side earned their place in Europe's elite competition after finishing third in the Premier League last season, but their opening three league matches this campaign have produced just one win, one draw and one defeat. United will be looking to put that inconsistent start behind them and begin their European campaign with a strong performance in front of their home supporters.

Sabah FK arrive for the biggest match in the club's history as they make their Champions League league-phase debut. The Azerbaijani champions have already progressed through several qualifying rounds to reach this stage and enter the match with plenty of confidence after a 5-0 domestic victory. Managed by Valdas Dambrauskas, Sabah will look to remain organised and use their attacking pace to test a United defence that has shown some vulnerability early in the season.
Head-to-Head
Manchester United and Sabah FK have never met in competitive football. This will also be Sabah's first competitive meeting with an English club, making the fixture a historic occasion for the Azerbaijani side.
