Manchester United vs Sabah LIVE: Champions League match stream, latest score, goal updates and fan reaction

History will be made in the Champions League tonight as Manchester United host Sabah

London Standard

Man United mark their return to the Champions League at Old Trafford tonight. After a season without European football and a Europa League campaign the year prior, this will be United's first experience of the competition in its new format and they have been handed a rather straightforward assignment in their opening game of the league phase.

It has been a mixed start to the season for Michael Carrick’s side, picking up four points from a possible nine in the Premier League and they could have one eye on Sunday's huge Manchester derby with rotation likely. Marcus Rashford looks to have recovered from a knock that forced him off in the 2-2 draw against Everton, while Luke Shaw is expected to be fit despite his absence from training earlier in the week.

Sabah, meanwhile, are making their Champions League debut. The Azerbaijan club's journey began in the first qualifying round back in July and now they will hope to cause one of the biggest shocks in European football history.
