AZ will aim to grab its first win in the Europa League this season when Manchester United comes to town.

What is the position of AZ and Manchester United?

AZ ranks second in Group L following the opening day draw with Partizan. Manchester United is first with three points.

What is the form of AZ as compared to Manchester United?

Manchester United will aim to put its away struggles behind when it travels to the Netherlands for their second match of the Europa League campaign. The Red Devils have been fighting to find their feet in the English Premier League and a record of two wins in their last 12 matches is a parallel reflection of what the clubs aims to achieve in terms of success.

Indeed, the apparent crisis has its roots in the lack of ambition and a functional system which has been seen in recent years at the club. Bar the surprise 3-1 win over Paris Saint Germain in last season's Champions League, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men have been unable to record a win away from home in seven successive matches.
Only five wins have been seen across 18 matches in all competitions, once again, hinting at the non-performance of a side that has put a lot of faith in its youth players.

For AZ, the encounter couldn't have come at a better time as it is already making strides in the Dutch Eredivisie. Ranking third on the league table with just a point separating it and leaders Ajax, Arne Slot's side has lost once in 15 outings across all competitions.

With four wins in five successive matches, the AFAS Stadion outfit ranks amongst the in-form sides in the domestic league. Against Manchester United, they will hope the uprising will be sustained with the Red Devils displaying vulnerability tendencies.

What is the head to head record of AZ vs Manchester United?

AZ and Manchester United are meeting in European competition for the first time. However, the Eredivisie club's seven recent home meetings with English clubs have yielded two wins, four draws and just one defeat.

Team news: Who is injued or suspended for AZ vs Manchester United?

Dani de Wit will continue his recovery from a nose injury and will not be available to feature for AZ in Thursday's cup game. Jonas Svensson is suspended after receiving a straight red card in the 1-1 draw with Partizan.

For United, Paul Pogba, Anthony Martial, Luke Shaw, Phil Jones, Timothy Fosu-Mensah and Eric Bailly will be unavailable to feature as they recuperate from respective injuries. Aaron Wan-Bissaka remains a doubt after missing the last two outings with a back injury.
