Man Utd must watch out for FC Twente star Sem Steijn during Europa League clash

Manchester United are set to host FC Twente at Old Trafford in the Europa League tonight.

The Eredivisie club are fourth in the league table with three wins in six games.

They are high in confidence before their trip to Manchester after winning their last two games by a combined scoreline of 7-0.

The Dutch club are picking up form, and the credit must go to Sem Steijn.

The 22-year-old is an attacking midfielder by trade and is leading the Eredivisie goalscoring charts (six).

He has seven goals and an assist to his name in eight games this season.

Five of these seven goals came in the previous three encounters.

It has been a terrific start to his campaign, proving that his exploits from last season were not a fluke.

He netted 19 times and recorded three assists in 39 games across all competitions.

Steijn is a keen dribbler of the ball. He uses his clever movements to find spaces to create an attacking opportunity.

United should not believe that they can bulldoze FC Twente easily.

The Dutch side missed out on a Champions League spot after narrowingly losing 5-4 on aggregate to Red Bull Salzburg.

The Red Devils should unleash Manuel Ugarte to keep track of Steijn.

The summer signing has already showcased flashes of his potential, proving to be an aggressive force who thrives in duels.

He does not create chances but excels as a reliable distributor of the ball.

With Bruno Fernandes ahead of him, known for his risk-taking and flair, having Ugarte in the centre provides a perfect balance.
