There's no way the United boss would encourage his team to play only for a draw, however, and they'll be confident of claiming all three points thanks to an outstanding run of results since their defeat to Arsenal in the Premiership in September. United have been in superb form in recent weeks, with Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo producing some match-winning performances.
Celtic need to improve dramatically following their 3-0 drubbing against Benfica in Lisbon three weeks ago. However, the Bhoys can take heart from their performance in the first meeting at Old Trafford on September 13 – twice they fought back from behind and were slightly unlucky to lose in the end, although United created more chances.
Celtic will be confident based on recent performances against English teams on their own patch – they drew 1-1 with Liverpool in the Uefa Cup in 2003 and beat Blackburn Rovers 1-0 at Parkhead the previous year.
A win over United would provoke delirious scenes among the green-and-white half of Glasgow.
Recommended bets:
Man Utd to win (evens)
Rooney first goal (11/2)
