Partizan Belgrade
Partizan are the second-most successful side in Serbia, after their arch-rivals Red Star. They have claimed 27 national championships, including 11 Yugoslav First Leagues, eight Serbia and Montenegro First Leagues and eight Serbia SuperLigas. They were the first team from Eastern Europe ever to make it to the European Cup final, in 1966, and 2019/20 marks their 44th season playing in continental competition. The club’s official nickname, ‘The Steamroller’, was first given after a 7-1 hammering of Red Star in December 1953 - and reference to it is even included in the club anthem! Some names you'll recognise who begun their careers at Partizan include former Manchester City players Stevan Jovetic and Matija Nastasic, as well as Fulham forward Aleksandar Mitrovic.
Manchester United
Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Anthony Martial returned after injury lay-offs during United’s 1-1 draw with Liverpool on Sunday, and are among Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's travelling squad for the trip to Belgrade. Jesse Lingard, who Ole hinted was on the path to a first-team return at the weekend, was also on the plane, as was Phil Jones, who returned to the substitutes' bench against Liverpool after almost a month out injured. David De Gea, Axel Tuanzebe, Luke Shaw, Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic have not travelled. The manager will provide further updates in his pre-match press conference, which you can follow on our Official App this Wednesday evening.
