Manchester United drew with rivals Chelsea at The Bridge at the weekend and they should be in a positive frame of mind. But football doesn’t get easy ahead as they next face Juventus in the Champions League on Tuesday.

The Red Devils are second in the group at the moment behind Juve with 4 points after 2 games.
On the other hand, Juventus are top of the Champions League at present with 6 points from 2 games. They will be eyeing another win on Tuesday night.
But the work won’t be easy at all against giant of a club in Man United especially in their own backyard. Juventus will have to remain positive and hope for the best.
