Memphis Depay must have been waiting for this day ever since the Champions league groups were announced. He is finally getting the chance to go back to his former club and he will surely want to make the occasion memorable by scoring in the game.
PSV knows that even though they are underdogs going into this game, there is a chance that they can walk away with something. Even after losing Memphis to Manchester United on Tuesday, the Dutch side has scored 14 goals in 5 games so far this season. They currently sit 4th on the Eredivisie table with 11 points from a possible 15. PSV manager Philip Cocu, who once played under Louis Van Gaal for Barcelona would certainly be looking forward to this challenge.
Dutch forward Luuk De Jong is PSV's biggest asset and has recently score a fine hattrick in their last game against Cambuur. Manchester United would also want to keep an eye on winger Luciano Narsingh. His pace and dribbling skills could cause the United fullbacks some problems but with Darmian and Luke Shaw in fine form, they should be able to keep him quiet.
Manchester United fans will be pleased to see their team back and playing in the group stages of UCL after missing last year's campaign. Last week's 3-1 win over rivals Liverpool must have given United a lot of confidence as Van Gaal prepares to face a dutch opposition with Manchester United for the first time. Manchester United has been impressive in the League so far with their defence being particularly impressive.
Their main concern though will be the absence of Wayne Rooney. Teenager Antony Martial marked his debut with a well taken goal last week but Van Gaal may stick with Fellaini to lead the line for United. Memphis may have to start the game he has been waiting for on the bench after Ashley Young put on an impressive display after coming on as a sub for him at half time. The new signings have settled in well and there finally seems to be a sense of optimism around the club.
Manchester United will prove to be too strong for PSV ultimately. The English side has been impressive lately and with the quality of players they have, they will ultimately outfight PSV and take all the 3 points back home.
Prediction : PSV Eindhoven 0 - 2 Manchester United
