Sporting CP vs Manchester United prediction, odds and how to watch

Manchester United travel to Lisbon in desperate need of answers. Sporting CP are no walkover, and United's recent Champions League form gives very little reason for confidence.

Liverpool host a Manchester United side that has not won in five Premier League matches, but the head-to-head record tells a very different story. Something has to give at Anfield on Sunday.

Manchester United fans chanted abuse at director of football Jason Wilcox during Sunday's 3-0 defeat by Bournemouth, as Michael Carrick's job hangs by a thread. Wilcox has twice survived purges that claimed Dan Ashworth and Ruben Amorim, raising questions about United's deeper structural dysfunction.

Michael Carrick looks set to become Manchester United's third managerial casualty in three seasons after a 3-0 home defeat by Bournemouth, but anti-Glazer and anti-Ratcliffe chants at Old Trafford reveal a crisis rooted far deeper than the dugout.

Manchester United have been linked with Eddie Howe, Antonio Conte, Unai Emery and Julian Nagelsmann as potential successors to Michael Carrick, with Wilcox's relationship with Howe making him the apparent frontrunner. A fifth name, Fabian Hurzeler, has already been ruled out as unrealistic.
