MANCHESTER UNITED travel to Portugal to take on Benfica as they look to extend their perfect start to this year’s Champions League campaign.
Jose Mourinho’s side have two wins from two, seeing off Basel with ease at Old Trafford before dismantling CSKA Moscow in Russia.
They’re unbeaten in eleven games in all competitions and in Romelu Lukaku finally look to have the prolific talisman their recent seasons have lacked.
Benfica are bottom of the group after two defeats, including a 5-0 hammering from Basel – a game they went into as favourites.
