Manchester United Starting XI Prediction at Galatasaray (UCL)

While Manchester United have lost three of their four UEFA Champions League group stage clashes thus far this season, they’re actually still in the running to reach the round of 16, amazingly. Of course, they will have to win at Galatasaray on Wednesday night, and hope that Bayern Munich beats FC Copenhagen too.

That scenario actually puts them in second place in Group A (and thus in line to advance to the knockout round) believe it or not.

However, the sixth and final match of the group stage is a home date with Bayern and if you’ll recall, the reverse fixture went horribly for United. It’s tough, but it can still get done, and obviously United have no one to blame but themselves for being in this position. The lone win they have in this competition was far from convincing, to say the least.

Manager Erik ten Hag made some “interesting” choices to say the least with his starting lineup Sunday at Everton. Luke Shaw went straight back into the firs, and Kobbie Mainoo got a first team assignment, so that is great for him. Alejandro Garnacho took advantage of a rare start and scored an all-world goal. His bicycle kick is among the greatest goals in United history.

Maybe he keeps his place here? This match is going to be tough one, as United have already lost the reverse fixture at home.
