# UCL Permutations: How can Man United progress tonight

Manchester United got back to winning ways in the Premier League at the weekend with a crucial 1-0 win over Tottenham at Old Trafford and they will now turn their attentions to the Champions League.

Jose Mourinho’s side were perhaps a bit fortunate to escape with a win in Benfica last time out in the Champions League to preserve their 100% record and the welcome the Liga NOS side to Old Trafford tonight on Matchday 4.

In Group A, United have a commanding lead among their rivals and look set to qualify for the knockout stages and they have a chance to clinch that this evening if results go their way.

We break down the permutations of tonight’s Group A fixtures and how United can book their place in the knockout stages.
