Club Brugge drew three and lost three of their matches in UEFA Champions League Group A, finishing below Paris Saint-German and Real Madrid and above Galatasaray. Previous meetings • Emmanuel Bonaventure put Club Brugge ahead in the first leg with a lob over advancing goalkeeper Sergio Romero, but United equalised with a fine solo effort from Anthony Martial before half-time. • The clubs met in the 2015/16 UEFA Champions League play-offs, United cantering through 7-1 on aggregate, with Wayne Rooney scoring a hat-trick as they won the second leg 4-0 in Bruges after two goals from new signing Memphis Depay had helped them to a come-from-behind 3-1 win at Old Trafford. • United boast a perfect home record in UEFA competition against Belgian opponents, four of the five wins coming against Anderlecht, including 10-0 in the first meeting, in the 1956 European Champion Clubs' Cup preliminary round – still United's record European victory – and 2-1 after extra time in the most recent, in the quarter-final of the 2016/17 UEFA Europa League, thanks to Marcus Rashford's winner. • Club Brugge are still seeking a first victory in England, 12 previous visits having yielded two draws and ten defeats, including a 1-0 loss to Liverpool at Wembley in the 1978 European Cup final. Their most recent fixture in the country was a 2-1 defeat by Leicester City in the 2016/17 UEFA Champions League group stage. Form guide Manchester United • The three-time champions of Europe finished sixth in the 2018/19 Premier League, which meant direct access to the UEFA Europa League. They were quarter-finalists in last season's UEFA Champions League, going out to Barcelona after a remarkable round of 16 second-leg comeback against Paris Saint-Germain (0-2 h, 3-1 a). • United kept clean sheets in their first four UEFA Europa League group fixtures this term, securing qualification with two games to spare after doing the double over Partizan (1-0 a, 3-0 h). Although an understrength side lost 2-1 at Astana, ending the club's 15-match unbeaten run in the competition, they signed off in style with the 4-0 home win against AZ that secured top spot in Group L – the club's joint biggest victory in the UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League. • The Manchester giants have appeared in three previous UEFA Europa League knockout phases and have been victorious in the round of 32 on all three occasions, eliminating Ajax (2-0 a, 1-2 h) in 2011/12, Midtjylland (1-2 a, 5-1 h) in 2015/16, and Saint-Étienne (3-0 h, 1-0 a) in 2016/17, the season they went on to lift the trophy.
