Manchester United Vs Benfica: 5 things United need to do at Benfica

#4 Exploit Benfica's ageing defence

Luisao in-action - Portugal Primeira Liga

Luisao and Jardel started as centre-backs for Benfica in the first 2 UEFA Champions League games and they are most likely to continue against United. Once the best defender in Portugal and Europe, Luisao is struggling with age (36) and Basel striker Oberlin drove at him successfully too many times when they played Basel last month.

Jardel at 31, is not in his prime and the defensive pair is finding it hard to complement each other. It was evident in the Basel encounter, when Luisao and Jardel did not have an answer for Basel's pace and energy and ended up conceding 5 goals.

WIth Andre Almeida suspended, Luisao and Jardel have to be at their best to stop the free-scoring Manchester United attack.
