While Erik ten Hag's squad has made significant strides in the Premier League in recent weeks, they suffered a defeat in their first European match of the season, so increasing the pressure.
A voyage to Transnistria appears to be arduous, but Sheriff has a history of pulling off impressive outcomes, as evidenced by their Champions League victory over Real Madrid in the previous season.
Losing this game will put United in a precarious position in the group stage, which would undoubtedly be viewed as a major letdown.
