Galatasaray vs Manchester United prediction, odds and preview

Manchester United have a huge mountain to climb in their bid to salvage their UEFA Champions League season.

The Red Devils are up against Galatasaray on matchday five of the competition and anything but a win could see them suffer an early elimination.

United sit bottom in Group A with just three points from four games having beaten only Copenhagen at Old Trafford.

The return league in Denmark saw Erik ten Hag’s men throw away a two-goal lead to lose 4-3.

Galatasaray were on the verge of leaving their encounter against Bayern Munich with a hard-fought point to show for their efforts on matchday four.

However, they were found wanting in the dying embers of the game as they suffered defeat at the end of the game.

Nothing can be decided this week regarding the fate of Okan Buruk’s men, who are level on points with Copenhagen but have a lower goal difference.

However, defeat combined with a shock Copenhagen win over Bayern would put them in a perilous position ahead of a possible winner-takes-all clash with the Scandinavians on December 12.

The game in Turkey is set to kick off at 17:45 GMT.
