FC Porto v Manchester United stats and head-to-head record (H2H)

Porto succumbed to a 3-2 loss against Bodo/Glimt in Norway on Matchday One despite dominating territorially and playing against 10 men for much of the second half.

They have won six of seven so far in the Liga Portugal, but were turned over by Sporting Lisbon in their sole setback, leaving them in second spot behind the faultless leaders.

United were held 1-1 by Ten Hag's former employers FC Twente at Old Trafford last week, one of three games in a row in all competitions they have failed to win.

Porto and United have faced each other a total of eight times in European competition, with the Red Devils edging the head-to-head record with three wins to the Dragons' two.

Their last meeting was in the 2008/09 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, when they drew 2-2 at Old Trafford before Cristiano Ronaldo scored the only goal in Portugal with a long-range stunner.
