Old Trafford - Manchester
Manchester United have lost just one of their last 26 home games in the UEFA Europa League (W19 D6). Indeed, only Roma (22) have won more such matches than the Red Devils in the competition since the start of this run in February 2016.
PAOK Salonika have failed to win their opening four group stage matches in a major European campaign for just the second time (D1 L3), after also failing to do so in the 2015-16 edition of the UEFA Europa League.
Amad Diallo scored his first ever brace for Manchester United – five of his six goals in all competitions for the Red Devils have come at Old Trafford.
Manchester United have won all six of their home games against Greek sides by an aggregate score of 20-1, with this their first ever meeting with PAOK Salonika.
Having been unbeaten in their first four meetings with English sides (W1 D1 v Arsenal, W1 D1 v Tottenham), PAOK lost their most recent two such matches against Chelsea in 2018-19.
Manchester United are winless in six major European matches (D4 L2), their worst run since 1980 to 1983 (also six). They have never previously gone seven without a win.
PAOK Salonika have lost five of their last six away UEFA Europa League matches (D1) since a 4-1 win at Belarussian side BATE Borisov in October 2018.
Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez has progressed the ball upfield 524 metres with ball carries in the UEFA Europa League this season, the most of any player.
