Seeking to secure automatic qualification for the last 16 of the Europa League, Manchester United travel to Romania to take on FCSB at the National Arena in their final League Phase fixture. The two teams will face each other for the very first time in Bucharest and are separated by only one point in the 36-team standings. It has been far from a bed of roses at Old Trafford since the arrival of Ruben Amorim, but positives can be taken from Man United’s run of three wins in their last four matches across all competitions, even if their performances were far from convincing.

Since Amorim labelled his Manchester United squad as “maybe the worst” in the club’s history following a 3-1 defeat to Brighton in the Premier League, Man United have won by a one-goal margin in their last two matches, with a 2-1 Europa League victory over Rangers last week followed by a 1-0 success at Fulham on Sunday, courtesy of a second-half strike from Lisandro Martinez.

With Manchester United now sitting 12th in the Premier League table and 11 points behind the top seven, the Europa League arguably represents their best chance of securing European football for next season, and they are in a strong position to secure automatic qualification for the last 16.

Sitting fourth in the 36-team table and two points above Galatasaray in ninth, Manchester United know that victory against eight-placed FCSB will secure a top-eight finish, but failing to pick up maximum points could put them in danger of slipping into the playoff positions if other results go against them.

Manchester United will fancy their chances of success on Thursday as they have won five of their last six meetings with Romanian opposition, while they have not lost any of their last six Europa League away matches (W4 D2) since losing 2-1 at Astana in November 2019.

FCSB have been one of the surprise packages in the Europa League this season and find themselves in contention to qualify for the last 16 for the first time since the 2017-18 campaign. FCSB have now turned their attention back to the Europa League, and although they have lost each of their last seven meetings with English clubs by an aggregate score of 20-2, their head into their first-ever encounter with Manchester United having lost only three of their previous 22 home matches in the group stage (and now League Phase) of the Europa League (W11 D8), collecting seven points from three home games this season.
