Manchester United take on Greek side PAOK in the Europa League tonight at Old Trafford, with Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side looking for their first win of this season’s European campaign.

United laboured to a 1-1 draw with Chelsea last weekend, though this match against the Greek champions offers a good chance for a morale-boosting performance in what is Van Nistelrooy’s penultimate match in charge. United lie in 21st position in the competition’s league table, but while the Greek champions have been in good form domestically, they have faltered in Europe so far this season with only one point from three games.

Incoming United manager Ruben Amorim takes charge of the club on 11 November, the day after the league match against Leicester, and van Nistelrooy can do his successor a favour with an important three points in both of his remaining matches.

Follow the latest score and all the action from Man Utd v PAOK below.

Manchester United 1-0 PAOK

60 min: Garnacho makes a brilliant dribble into the box and appears to be bullied off the ball unfairly, but the referee waves away the penalty claims.

Lisandro Martinez is preparing to come on, as is Marcus Rashford.

GOAL! Manchester United 1-0 PAOK (Amad, 50 min)

Finally, the breakthrough! Bruno Fernandes launches a deep cross into the area where perhaps the smallest player on the pitch leaps high to send a header across goal and in off the far post.

Manchester United 0-0 PAOK

47 min: Close! United surge forwards and Dalot is slipped in down the left side of the box. He goes to slide a pass for Bruno Fernandes arriving in a dangerous area, but it’s just cut out by a defender’s toe. A goal-saving interception.

Half-time: Manchester United 0-0 PAOK

United finish the half on the front foot as Bruno Fernandes makes a good run into the box. He dummies to cross and then stops the ball dead near the right byline, throwing most of PAOK’s defence the wrong way, before setting the ball back for Amad. But the winger jumps over the ball thinking there must be a teammate arriving behind him, and there isn’t one.

A bit of a mess, and that’s half-time.

Manchester United 0-0 PAOK

42 min: Good from PAOK, who come fowards in a couple of waves of attack. Baba Rahman skips away from Mazraoui on the left side of the box and zips a dangerous low cross into the centre, but fortunately for United it misses his teammates and Garnacho is there at the far post to clear.

Manchester United 0-0 PAOK

39 min: We are ticking closer to half-time, and this has all been a little bit underwhelming from the home side. Some bright moments, but the spark lacking throughout most of Ten Hag’s tenure still seems to be missing.

Wingers liven up slow start to Europa League clash

The PAOK right winger Andrija Zivkovic has been lively – indeed, the two liveliest players on the pitch have been the right wingers, with Amad Diallo United’s brightest individual so far.

The most watchable, in his inimitable way, may be Casemiro, a strangely entertaining player. Though so far, this is not a particularly entertaining game.
