Manchester United welcome Sabah in a historic UEFA Champions League encounter on Thursday night.
The matchweek one contest will mark Man Utd's first UEFA Champions League game since the 2023/24 season, where they finished fourth in a group made up of Bayern München, Galatasaray and Copenhagen.
Michael Carrick's side haven't enjoyed the most productive start to the 2026/27 Premier League campaign, picking up just four points from a possible nine against Hull City, Ipswich Town and Everton.
In making their UEFA Champions League debut at Old Trafford, Azerbaijan outfit Sabah will become the youngest club in history to compete in Europe’s top continental competition, founded just nine years ago in 2017.
Their trip to Manchester will mark their first of eight monstrous league phase clashes, with Borussia Dortmund, Napoli and Arsenal amongst the clubs that await Valdas Dambrauskas' side.
Sabah are priced at a massive 22/1 to produce one of the biggest upsets in UEFA Champions League history and beat the Red Devils on their home turf.
Man Utd lost just four home games in all competitions last season -- a drastic improvement on their nine losses the season prior -- and commenced the 2026/27 term with a 5-2 win victory over Ipswich Town at Old Trafford.
While Carrick may opt to make changes ahead of welcoming Manchester City on Sunday afternoon, the team fielded should still be capable of getting the job done, with a relatively successful summer transfer window ensuring that the club have depth to compete on the European front.
A win for Sabah would be akin to Sheriff Tiraspol's remarkable victory over European giants Real Madrid in the 2021/22 campaign, with the Moldovan underdogs defying all odds to win 2-1 at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu.
