With a win against Galatasaray, Manchester United will look to get back on track after losing the first meeting at Old Trafford; doing so might help them recover from a disappointing Champions League campaign. They are in an urgent need of the three points to improve their qualification hopes, as they sit fourth in Group A. The math is even more hard for United after their loss to FC Copenhagen in their last match; they now need to win to keep their prospects of advancing to the knockout stages alive.
After a 3-3 tie at оld Traffоrd, Sir Alex Fergusоn’s team was unable tо find the back оf the net in a crucial knоckоut match in Istanbul оver 30 years agо, as they were held tо a scоreless stalemate.

Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez, Christian Eriksen, Amad Diallo, and Tyrell Malacia are just a few of the first-team players out with injuries for United. The former Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount is out for Sunday’s match against Galatasaray with a recurrent calf issue, adding to the list of recent injuries. United will be without Marcus Rashford, who was sent off in their last European match against FC Copenhagen. However, they could get a lift if Rasmus Hojlund, a Danish striker who has been on fire in Europe, returns to training. Hojlund has scored five goals in four outings.
