UEFA Champions League | Galatasaray Vs Man Utd; Thursday, 30 November at 01:45 GMt +8

Galatasaray has started well domestically, winning eleven of their first thirteen games and separating themselves from Fenerbahçe by just one goal. Despite their recent defeats against Bayern and Manchester United, their win against Man United on Matchday two will be remembered by their fans, as it will be a memorable experience in the Champions League.

Manchester United’s domestic season has been poor, finishing third last season. They suffered three defeats in four league games in September and have been linked with the sacking of Erik ten Haag. Despite a three-game winning streak in the league, United is currently bottom of Group A in the Champions League. A win this week could significantly impact their chances of reaching the knockout stages, so the visitors are expected to perform well.

Galatasaray boss Okan Buruk will be without Abdülkerim Bardakcı due to injury, while Halil Dervişoğlu and Eyüp Aydın are ineligible for European competition. Wilfried Zaha, Dries Mertens, and Mauro Icardi scored in last weekend’s Super Lig win over Alanyaspor, and will face Man United’s defenders on Wednesday.

Marcus Rashford, who scored his second goal of the 2023-24 season in a win over Everton, will not be available for Manchester United on Wednesday due to suspension. Rashford was red-carded in the first half of the defeat to Copenhagen, leaving the Red Devils without Tyrell Malacia, Lisandro Martínez, Christian Eriksen, Rasmus Højlund, Mason Mount, and Amad Diallo. Antony missed United’s game last weekend due to injury, but is expected to recover for the trip to Istanbul.
