Villarreal and Manchester United will face this Tuesday, at 12:45, at the Estadio de la Cerámica, a decisive match for the future of zone F, when they meet for date five of the group stage of the Champions League.
Both teams can certify their classification to win this commitment, depending on the result of Atalanta, which is third (5) two points behind both and which is measured against Young Boys in Switzerland.
The Yellow Submarine comes to this meeting after adding three games without losing, a streak that means that Emery’s team can come to this game with more peace of mind than they had just over a month ago, when they had added four league games without winning.
A better situation than Manchester United, who comes after one of his worst streaks, which has led to the change of coach. Thus, the English team dismissed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer this weekend after the defeat against Watford, which means that in the Ceramics the team will be led for the time being and internally by Michael Carrick.

However, the team led by Unai Emery will arrive with significant losses for the commitment, which could reduce the performance of the team. His scorer Gerardo Moreno will not be able to be due to injury; While Coquelin, Yeremy Pino, Chukwueze, Paco Alcácer, Arnaut Danjuma, Étienne Capoue and Sergio Asenjo they remain in doubt due to physical discomfort.
For its part, Manchester United will have the insured loss of Paul Pogba, Raphael Varane and Mason Greenwood, the first two due to injury and the last due to COVID-19. The only doubt is the Edinson Cavani.
Only he will not be able to count on Paul Pogba due to injury and it is expected that there will not be many changes in the starting lineup, as former player Michael Carrick, second to Solskjaer, has barely two days in charge of the team.
Carrick will have an easy time improving the image that the Red Devils gave in the first leg, when they were only saved by the poor aim of Unai Emery and a Cristiano Ronaldo who has his fetish competition in the Champions League for another year.
Cristiano defies the logic of the almanac
The Portuguese accumulates four goals and all of them have meant points for his team. However, his scoring power has been fading and he has not seen the door in the last two league games and neither in the international break. In total, he has been four games without smelling the goal.
