Watch Fenerbahce Vs. Manchester United Live Stream: Start Time, Preview, UEFA Europa League Matchday 4
Manchester United, looking to go to the top of Group A in the UEFA Europa League, travel to Istanbul Thursday to take on Fenerbahce S.K. in a Matchday Four showdown that will live stream from Turkey as the once-dominant English side fight to redeem their season by qualifying for next year’s Champions League in the only way likely to remain possible — a first-ever Europa League title.
Manchester United already has a win over the Turkish side in Group A, coming just two weeks ago at Old Trafford when the Red Devils cruised to a 4-1 victory — overcoming a goal by former United star Robin Van Persie on his first visit to Old Trafford since departing after the 2014-2015 season and scoring 48 goals in 86 games for the Premier League legends.

In his first season at Old Trafford, Manager Jose Mourinho has been forced to revise his once-dismissive view of Europa League competition. Manchester United currently sits in eighth place on the Premier League table and are already seven points off the pace set by Chelsea in the fourth slot.
As a result, winning the Europa League may prove to be Mourinho’s only chance to get the team into next season’s UEFA Champions League tournament and redeem his already-disappointing inaugural season at the helm of the once-mighty club.
After originally declaring that he simply preferred not to play in the Europa League competition, Mourinho now says the second-tier tournament will become a priority for his team.
“My opinion changed because the rules changed and the Europa League – the winner has a direct [path] to the Champions League,” Mourinho said on Wednesday. “In the last couple of years, the Europa League for the big clubs has a different meaning.”
Watch Mourinho deliver his pre-match remarks to the press in the video below.
