Manchester United are unbeaten in their last 12 major European matches against Portuguese clubs since losing 2-1 to Benfica in December 2005. Porto boss Vitor Bruno is wary of the threat Manchester United pose despite Erik ten Hag's side arriving in Portugal with a "rope around their necks". United are looking to return to winning ways in the Europa League after last Sunday's woeful 3-0 home defeat by Tottenham in the Premier League. But Bruno said his players will not be underestimating their opponents. "I've heard a lot of people saying that they have a rope around their necks, " said Bruno when asked by United's form. "But, no, no, we are just looking at our objective and that is to reach the next stage. "We always see them as a threat, not as a good point to take them on. "We have to just be ourselves and look at them the way the way we have to look at them, with respect, a lot of respect, with a lot of individuals. "I know what you mean talking about their last match, but we must see the whole not the last one. " Man Utd midfielder Mason Mount has not travelled after suffering a knock against Tottenham but defender Harry Maguire, who did not feature at the weekend, could feature. Midfielder Fabio Vieira, who joined Porto on a season-long loan from Arsenal in August, is in contention to play.
