[Matt Varnish]

Several players from 1999 and 2014 will be playing in this one.

Which has no bearing on the match either

 

[Sweet Square]

This team isn't getting a win in Turkey. CL is over for us.

Everton game -

Surprised to see us slight favourites at the bookies. Don't see us scoring.

Tbh I won’t be taking your betting tips

 

[Gabriel Djemba-Bebe]

If we can keep 11 players on the pitch all the way to the end, then I think we have a fair chance of winning this one.

I feel like this has been overlooked by a lot of our fans. We'd be a minimum 4 points better off than we are now if it weren't for two red cards that changed the two games.

Going off the reverse fixture, Galatasaray aren't all that. With Onana back in form and the likes of Shaw and Mainoo offering composure on the ball, I fancy us to win by more than 1 goal.

Does anything that anybody says here have any bearing on the match? One post was an interesting stat and the other clearly a joke.

Yeah I wouldn't bother either.

Agreed it's been overlooked. Played an hour against Copenhagen with 10 men and were cruising it before the sending off. Against Galatasaray lost all shape when Casemiro went off. Could be up to 8 changes to the starting 11 on Wednesday to what started at home to Galatasary.

 

[Fortitude]

Zaha vs AWB ; Giggs vs Zanetti

 

[Todd]

Completely forgot that Rashford is suspended for this. With that in mind, I guess I'm hoping for:

-------------------------Højlund--------------------------
Martial------------------------------------------Nacho
----------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------Bruno----------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------McSauce-----Mainoo---------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
Shaw------------------------------------------------AWB
-------------------Lindelöf---Varane------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------Onana---------------------------

I don't realistically think that he'll pick Varane over Maguire, though.

 

[Borussia Teeth]

Onana
AWB Varane Maguire Shaw
Mainoo Amrabat
Bruno
Pellistri Martial Garnacho

I like Dalot but I think he would struggle against Zaha so I would bring the spider in. I feel Varane's CL experience will be required in this ground. I can't stand watching McTominay avoiding the ball and passing backwards so I'm going for Amrabat, who I think could still turn out to be a decent signing for us. Pellistri in for the suspended Rashford as the Uruguayan is a natural right winger. Hoijlund and Antony to come off the bench.

 

[Lee565]

The midfield needs to be changed, we can't have a repeat of the first half against Everton, mainoo yes but mctominay partnering him again whilst bruno plays further forward is a cause for concern

 

[SAF is the GOAT]

 

[ColvaleGoa]

Strangely confident for this one.

Nothing to lose here. We are most definitely going to Europa. Might as well go all gung ho. Win,, we have to beat Bayern,(unlikely)...Lose let's go to Europa.

We can easily end up out of Europe completely.

Why? Bayern is already qualified at that point most likely.

 

[Heinzesight]

Another early United goal like Sunday would be ideal.

 

[Bastian]

I'd like to be optimistic like I see many are but I think going away to Galatasaray in a must-win game is being underestimated quite a bit. It's one of, if not the most hostile atmosphere there is in Europe (we've had a mare with it before, when we were actually good and playing under SAF), they're in great form and our confidence is still brittle.

I'm not expecting a win, let alone by two or more goals, even if we performed much better than them early on (at home).

However, if we somehow manage to win our biggest game of the season so far in those conditions I would appreciate if the moaners took a 24 hour break on the Caf.

 

[ti vu]

Why? Bayern is already qualified at that point most likely.

Based on this line of thinking, Bayern can just decide to lose the game against Copenhagen which makes it even more difficult for us to get through since Copenhagen would play their final game against Galatasaray at home.

In another word, we need Bayern to stay motivated enough. And when they're close to perfect 6 win in the group, it would be difficult for us to get result against them.

So in this mess, overall we're on the rough end of the stick.

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

Really don’t want Thursday night Europa league football so it’s win or bust here. Hopefully we can get a good result to be in control for the final round of games.

Onana

AWB - Lindelof - Maguire - Shaw

McTominay - Mainoo

Antony - B.Fernandes - Garnacho

Højlund​

Bayindir, Heaton, Dalot, Varane, Reguilon, Amrabat, Gore, Hannibal, Pellistri, Hugill, Martial

Galatasaray 1-2 Manchester United

 

[UnitedRepublic]

Start Martial and Højlund together and we win this for sure.

 

[DRJosh]

a 2-0 win please and thank you

 

[Ali Dia]

With Mainoo in the middle I think we will have more of the ball. It’s up to the attackers to really produce the goods. We are going to concede so the attackers need to be at it.

I would go Garnacho and Rasmus behind Martial. Pellistri is a really good option to bring on against tired legs. We are hitting some kind of form so hopefully it holds up. I think we are too good for them if we play to our potential.

 

[SAF is the GOAT]

Start Martial and Højlund together and we win this for sure.

I don't think either of them can play 90 min

[Strelok]

Bayern can just decide to lose the game against Copenhagen

That not gonna happen mate. Bayern have their own pride. They're probably not extremely motivated but I'm sure they'd want and play to win. And it's not like we're such a force to be reckon with so they'd deliberately lose just to get rid of us.

The thing is we should be focused on ourselves. Whatever the result between Bayern and Copenhagen would mean feck all if we can't win.

 

[red_de_pologne]

we beat Galata 2-1, Bayern beat Copenhagen 1-0, two draws in final games in the group, cushty.

Bayern 16 pts
United 7 pts
Copenhagen 5 pts
Galatasaray 5 pts

 

[Chaky_Best]

If Ten Hag doesn't change his tactics, and has Mc Tominay as his second number 10, we'll be dead.

We have absolutely no protection in this team, and we are two weak technically to conserve the ball so for sure there will be holes in midfield (where they killed us in the first game).

We need to be more conservative. We were better than them for 80min or so but somehow lost the game, they will wait us, try to counter us and throw long balls to Zaha and Icardi, with trying to be aggressive in midfield. We'll have spaces and hopefully we can exploit this.

Nervetheless, I am not confident at all.

Most likely

We lose tonight

Bayern 15 pts
Galata 7 pts
Copenhagen 4 pts
United 3 pts

Then last day

We lose again at home against a second Bayern team

Bayern 18 pts
Galata 8 pts
Copenhagen 5 pts
United 3 pts

Some proper weird people on here

 

[didz]

Backing a solid 3-0 win to kickstart our European season. Hojlund to add to his tally twice on his inevitable charge to the CL golden boot.

 

[Telsim]

Welcome to Hell!

Fully expecting a loss.

 

[AngliaRed]

——————Onana————-
AWB—Maguire—Shaw—Regulion
———-Amrabat—-Mainoo———

Antony————————Garnacho
————Martial/Hojland—————-

I would like to see this defence tbh, very doubful though.

ETH will have Antony back IMO.

Martial if Hojland isnt fit to start.

 

[Chumpsbechumps]

I’m gonna engage optimist mode and predict that it all clicks tonight and the team beats Gala comprehensively.

 

[Big Andy]

That not gonna happen mate. Bayern have their own pride. They're probably not extremely motivated but I'm sure they'd want and play to win. And it's not like we're such a force to be reckon with so they'd deliberately lose just to get rid of us.

in 99, the last group game was so obviously played for a draw to get us both through, and look how that bit them in the arse.

 

[Utd heap]

Agreed - if they don't play to knock us out tonight the treble looms large again.

 

[Leftback99]

Ten Hag only has 4 away victories against top 14 PL and in Europe in his time here, (Fulham, Wolves, Sociedad and Betis) all by one goal.

Would be his best result yet if he gets a win here.

 

[Ayoba]

I think we'll start well and even score a goal. But like in all our games in europe this season, we will eventually crumble and it will be ta ta bye bye to the CL


2-1 gala.

 

[Massive Spanner]

I’ll take solace with our improved league form and expect a loss here. Just can’t see us getting anything, let alone a win. But with our insane injuries I hope to feck if we lose this we don’t end up in the Europa.

 

[ti vu]

[Offside]

I think we may draw this but beat Bayern.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Sneaky feeling we'll win this - but then I thought we'd draw with Everton so what do I know.

Actually I do know we'll be losing to Newcastle on the weekend - that's what I know.
