Man Utd begin their Group B campaign against the Eredivisie champions

After comfortably dispatching of Club Brugge in the play-off, Man Utd begin their return to the Champions League after a one year absence against Dutch champions PSV.

Both sides will go into the match with a lot from confidence after Man Utd beat Liverpool 3-1 on Saturday with Anthony Martial scoring a great solo effort on his debut while PSV thrashed SC Cambur 6-0 on Saturday to keep up their unbeaten start to the season.
