Villarreal will face Manchester United at Estadio de la Ceramica stadium in Villarreal, Spain, on November 23, 2021 at 17:45 UTC. The match is in Group F of the UEFA Champions League.
After Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s sacking as Manchester United’s head coach was revealed on Sunday morning, Michael Carrick will lead the team into Tuesday’s Champions League match against Villarreal.
Man United knows that a win over the Yellow Submarine will secure their place in the competition’s knockout round with a game to spare, but a loss will leave them vulnerable in Group F.
Unai Emery’s team are in second place in the group, tied on seven points with their opponents, while Atalanta are in third place with five points ahead of the penultimate round of fixtures.
Villarreal will enter Tuesday’s match with a three-game unbeaten streak, having beaten Young Boys 2-0 in the Champions League before defeating Getafe and drawing with Celta Vigo in La Liga both before and after the international break.
Emery’s team will face Barcelona and Sevilla in their next two league games, while their last Group F meeting, which might prove pivotal, will be played away at Atalanta.
The Spaniards were superb against Man United in the rematch at Old Trafford at the end of September, but were defeated 2-1; they have since bounced back by defeating Young Boys both at home and away to go to seven points in the division.
