It's game day for the red side of Manchester, as Manchester United return to the English Premier League after their midweek demolition of Real Betis 4-1 at Old Trafford in the latest round of the Europa League knockout stage first-leg tie. A big win for the Red Devils.

Fans came out in their thousands to the Theatre of Dreams to watch the Red Devils deliver yet another great night of football for them on a European night. It was a big win against a familiar foe in Real Betis manager, Manuel Pellegrini, who is a former Manchester City manager before Pep Guardiola took over.

The Red Devils return to the Premier League in great form on the back of their midweek result, but they'll be more focused on getting back to winning ways in the EPL after their last league fixture ended in a big disappointment following their 7-0 loss at Anfield to Liverpool last Sunday.

Erik Ten Hag was a frustrated figure on the touchline for the major of the second half as his team conceded six times after a 1-1 draw at the interval. There was a huge wave of criticism directed at the team, with Bruno Fernandes getting the majority of it.

What is David De Gea's plans for today?

Despite their 4-1 win in the midweek, Erik Ten Hag was unconvinced by David De Gea's performance and even made some comments about it after the last game. De Gea also conceded seven times in the last EPL game, and he hopes to start the turnaround today. A win and clean sheet will be a big boost for the Spanish goalkeeper as he plans to win back Ten Hag's trust and set the new clean sheet record after surpassing Peter Schmeichel as United's all-time goalkeeper with the highest clean sheets in the club's history.
