Manchester United start their Champions League campaign with a fixture against Rangers on Tuesday well aware of the fact that they were kicked out by Bayern Munich at the last-eight stage last season, failing to reach the semi-finals of the competition for the first time since 2006. The Reds are in excellent form coming into this meeting, unbeaten in their last five matches, while Rangers have won each of their last five games.

The Merseysiders, however, defeated Manchester United 3–1 in this fixture last campaign and a trip to Liverpool won’t be easy against a home side looking for their first win.
