Two of Europe's genuine giants will lock horns at Old Trafford tonight when Manchester United take on Juventus in the Champions League.

The pair occupy the top two spots in Champions League Group H with the Bianconeri winning each of their first two games against Valencia and Young Boys.

United beat the Swiss side but could only manage a point against Valencia last time out to leave them second in the group.

Tonight's match marks Cristiano Ronaldo's second return to Old Trafford since leaving for Real Madrid in 2009.

Jose Mourinho is likely to stick with the majority of his players who earned a 2-2 draw at Chelsea at the weekend, with only Ross Barkley's last-gasp strike denying them all three points after Anthony Martial's two-goal salvo.

But he could recall Ander Herrera in place of Marcus Rashford to give his side a more solid base against the Bianconeri.
