Michael Owen makes prediction for Manchester United's clash with Astana

Former English player Michael Owen thinks the Champions League fixture between Manchester United and FC Astana will end with a draw. United are leading the league Group L, having 3 wins, 1 draw and no losses this season. Meanwhile, Astana have started their league season having no single win or draw. Though United have shown more fortunate results, than the Kazakhian side, Owen still predics a draw for the clash. He told: "Young United striker Mason Greenwood scored the only goal of the game in the reverse fixture at Old Trafford earlier in the season, but I feel Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side will have to settle for a draw in Kazakhstan despite the fact that Astana have lost their last three home games in the Europa League. United are already through to the knock-out stages of the competition but are not yet guaranteed top spot. I think the hosts, despite the fact that they are yet to pick up a solitary point in the group stages, can get a draw in the Astana Arena." The Red Devils will face their Champions League rivals at Astana Arena on Thursday.
