Head to Head
You have to go back to the year England won the World Cup in 1966 to find the last time the two teams met.
On that occasion the semi-finals then the European Cup, with Partizan crept over the Red Devils 2-1 on aggregate. 2-0 victory set up a tie with either for Serbia, with United a 1-0 success at Old Trafford was not enough to overturn the deficit.
PREDICTION
With United struggling to find the back of the net, it's hard to imagine the Red Devils have a lot of joy in what is sure to be a hostile atmosphere of Belgrade.
Harry Maguire and Marcus Rashford is likely to be rested to keep them fresh for the Premier League duty, and the rotation could prove to be a hinderance. Grit and determination, not quality, will be needed to get a positive result, but part of the spoils seems.
Prediction: Partizan Belgrade 1-1 Manchester United
