We present the announcement of the match of the third round of the Champions League between Juventus and Man United.

According to the draw, two of the most eminent teams of Group H - Juventus and Manchester United - will meet in a double match of the 3rd and 4th round of the Champions League group stage.

Tuesday, October 23, 10 pm. Manchester, Old Trafford, referee - Milorad Mazic (Serbia) MJ and Juventus met regularly at the turn of the century (8 matches for 9 years, 3 wins for Juve and 4 for MJ), but after 2003 the teams did not play with each other - 15 years. With Old Traffford, Juventus doesn't have the best memories either.. In the 2002/2003 season, the Turints lost to MU at this stadium as part of the group stage, and then lost in penalties to the final in Milan.

The Italian club is in the rank of the leader of the group for the reporting duel.. In the first two matches, both Valencia and Young Boys were beaten.. “Red Devils”, in turn, easily dealt with the Young Boys on the road, but to beat the “bats” at home did not work.

After the international break, the teams played one match in the championships, both missed victories. But if, in the case of Manchester United, the team was not originally the favorite of the fight against Chelsea, and before the match, it was considered by many that for United would be lucky just to get points, then Juve was the absolute favorite of the meeting with Genoa.

Juventus for the first time lost points this season.. Before that there were incredible 10 matches in which 10 victories were gained. In the match with Genoa, Cristiano Ronaldo once again distinguished himself, for whom matches with MJ will become a real test, because he is returning home. In Manchester, Ronaldo spent six years, won the English Premier League three times and it was here that he received his first Golden Ball. Since 2009, when Ronaldo retired from Manchester United, he only once returned to Old Trafford in a match against the former club. Then Real Madrid won it, and Ronaldo himself scored the decisive goal, who refused to celebrate.

By the reporting match, the Portuguese approaches physically rested (he missed the matches of the Portuguese national team), but not the fact that psychologically. The story of possible rape remains open.

As for the teams, the match against Genoa Paolo Dibala and Douglas Costa started on the bench, but both came out in the second half. Recall that Costa did not play due to injury from the first round of the Champions League, and Dibala due to knee injury, which the Argentine received in the match for the national team. Also returned after injuries of Matia De Chillo and Daniele Rougani, but they did not appear on the field and expect them in the starting lineup at Old Trafford. Not exactly playing Sami Khedira.

Jose Mourinho should not count on the help of Lingard with Fellaini, the long-injured Rojo and the young Maktominei and Dalot. He returned in a match with Chelsea Ander Herrera, who has not played for almost a month.
