Galatasaray Vs MU Preview: Bad Red Devils In Kemantan

Manchester United will play an away match against Galatasaray on the fifth matchday of Group A of the European Champions League 2023/2024 (Instagram/@manchesterunites).

JAKARTA Galatasaray and Manchester United (MU) will face a life-to-death match when they meet on the fifth matchday of Group A of the European Champions League 2023/2024 at Rams Park Stadium, Thursday, November 30, 2023, at 00.45 WIB.

Both teams need to secure victory if they don't want their chance to be on the brink. They need to avoid defeat to get a chance to the knockout stages.

At this time the Red Devils sit at the bottom of the standings with three points. While the home team has a one-point advantage and one place is better than Erik ten Hag's team.

Manchester United have so far only secured one win against Copenhagen. However, the same team made them lose on the fourth matchday.

Meanwhile, Galatasaray came to this match after losing twice against leaders Bayern Munich. The German giant has so far collected maximum points from four matches.

Two defeats against Bayern ended two good results in the first two matches, namely one draw against Copenhagen and one win against Manchester United.

Therefore, the Red Devils will try to avenge their crushing defeat 2-3 while playing at Old Trafford last month. However, this effort is unlikely to run smoothly.

The reason is, they were recorded as having failed to score in three away games to Galatasaray headquarters. This is MU's longest record against the European team.
