Man Utd’s Fellaini back for CL play-off against compatriots Brugge

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has spoken ahead of his side’s return to the Champions League, with the Red Devils huge 3/10 odds-on home favourites with Coral to beat Club Brugge (8/1) in their first leg play-off.

It will be the first time that the two teams have played against each other competitively, but two United stars Adnan Januzaj and Marouane Fellaini will be relishing going up against the club from their homeland Belgium.

Van Gaal suggested that Fellaini, who is currently serving a Premier League ban after getting sent of last season, could start at Old Trafford, and the Red Devils cult hero is a terrific 2/1 shout to score anytime.

Compatriot Januzaj, who Van Gaal had brought in to sit next to him for the pre-match press conference, could also start for the second game in succession after his match-winning goal against Aston Villa in the top flight.

The talented young Belgium international is an 11/4 chance in the anytime market, and he is also the result of a Coral special. Odds of 5/2 are available for Januzaj to score and Man Utd win (max stake £20).

Others that could be given a chance include Javier Hernandez, James Wilson and Andreas Pereira, who will all be hoping to impress their ruthless head coach. They are all priced at 5/4 to net anytime.

Memphis Depay, meanwhile, has not quite lived up to the hype from his first two competitive games for United, getting subbed off in both without scoring. The young Dutchman will be looking to get his confidence up by striking past Brugge, and is also 5/4 in the same market.
