United Kick Off Champions League Against Sabah | Sports News

Manchester United kicks off their Champions League return at Old Trafford this Thursday against never-before-faced European foe Sabah, marking Michael Carrick’s debut as head coach in the competition. Despite a shaky recent record in Europe — just one win in seven group games — the home advantage and stacked squad give them a strong chance. Injuries sideline key defenders de Ligt and Ugarte, while Rashford’s fitness is uncertain; he may sit for the derby against City just three days later. Carrick could shake up the lineup, potentially starting Benjamin Sesko and introducing fresh faces in midfield and defense. Kickoff is set for 8 PM — a pivotal moment as United begins their European campaign under new leadership, with a high-stakes derby looming.
