In another mouth-watering clash, Manchester United are set to welcome Bundesliga powerhouse RB Leipzig on October 29 at Old Trafford in their next UEFA Champions League group stage game. Both the teams will head into the game with previous wins in the Champions League. While Manchester United will be looking to replicate their 2-1 win over PSG and make back-to-back wins when they face RB Leipzig on Wednesday night. The visitors will also look to maintain their winning momentum following a 2-0 win over Istanbul Basaksehir last week.
In their last Champions League outing, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's red devils performed brilliantly against French giants PSG, thanks to superb goals from Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes. However, United were unable to showcase the same when they played against Chelsea on Saturday in the English Premier League.
On the other hand, RB Leipzig made a good opening in the Champions League with 2-0 won over Istanbul Basaksehir last week. They also went on to defeat a 10-sqaud Hertha Berlin 2-1 on Saturday in the Bundesliga. Since their 3-0 loss to PSG in the previous edition of the Champions League semi-finals, Leipzig have not suffered a defeat in any competition so far. Julian Naglesmann's side will be looking to continue their stellar performance this time around too.
The upcoming Champions League game will be the first one that Manchester United and RB Leipzig will face each other.
