Manchester United vs Villarreal live stream: How to watch Champions League match online

The Manchester United vs Villarreal live stream will be a replay of May's Europa League final. Villarreal lifted the trophy on that day, winning a lengthy penalty shootout after the game ended in a 1-1 draw. It was a tough loss for Manchester United to take, and the side will be eager for some revenge. 

Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates will also be looking to bounce back following a devastating last-minute defeat to Young Boys in their first CL group match. 

The Red Devils took the lead against Young Boys, but a mistake from Jesse Lingard led to a stoppage-time winner. They'll be desperate to put that behind them with an emphatic victory here in front of a sold-out home crowd, and Cristiano Ronaldo will likely be key to achieving that.  

Ronaldo's return to United has certainly lived up to the hype. Not only did he score against Young Boys but he's also netted three times in three games in the Premier League so far. The Portuguese icon always manages to perform on the biggest stages and games don't get much bigger than Champions League nights at Old Trafford. 

Manchester United will need all the attacking prowess they can muster as they'll be weakened at the back. Defensive stalwart Harry Maguire has been ruled out with a calf injury, Luke Shaw is also out injured and right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka will miss the game, after picking up a red card against Young Boys. 

Villarreal started their Champions League campaign with a 2-2 draw with Atalanta, but they're facing injury issues of their own. 

Midfielder Francis Coquelin is suspended after picking up a red card against Atalanta, and striker Gerard Moreno won't feature due to injury. Despite these absences, the side will likely be confident they can pick up a result, as they're currently enjoying a four-game unbeaten streak in all competitions. 

Here's how they line up:

Manchester United: De Gea, Dalot, Varane, Lindelof, Telles, McTominay, Pogba, Fernandes, Sancho, Greenwood, Ronaldo.

Villarreal: Rulli, Foyth, Albiol, Torres, Moreno, Parejo, Capoue, Danjuma, Trigueros, Pino, Alcacer.
