Holders Manchester United begin the defence of the title they won last May in Moscow against Spanish side Villareal. These two sides last met in the Champions League three seasons ago, when two 0-0 draws contributed to United missing out on the knockout stages.

They will be looking to avenge that at Old Trafford on Wednesday, although their early season Premiership form will concern manager Sir Alex Ferguson. Last weekend’s 2-1 defeat to Liverpool would have been hard to take, especially after United had taken an early lead through Carlos Tevez. They will need to tighten any defensive holes against an attack that includes Robert Pires, Marco Senna and Edmilson.

United are 4/9 with VCbet to start the defence of their title successfully, and Villareal are available at 6/1 with BetWithRed.
