Thu Dec 12 19:45:28 UTC 2024: ## Amorim Faces Crucial Test as Man United Visit Viktoria Plzeň
**Prague, Czech Republic** – New Manchester United manager, Ruben Amorim, faces a critical test this week as his team travels to Viktoria Plzeň in the Europa League. Following a disappointing 3-2 home defeat to Nottingham Forest last Saturday, pressure is mounting on Amorim, who is still finding his feet at Old Trafford despite the dismissal of Erik ten Hag.
Viktoria Plzeň will be without injured defender Svatopluk Martik, whose injury will be assessed in the coming weeks. United will also be without injured Luke Shaw. Despite these absences, both sides are expected to field strong lineups. Amorim will likely deploy a forward line featuring Marcus Rashford, Mason Mount, and Joshua Zirkee.
A win for Manchester United is paramount, not only to bolster their hopes of reaching the top eight in the league table but also to restore some confidence after their recent setback. The match is predicted to be a closely fought encounter, with a narrow victory for the English side.
