28.11.2023 - 06:55 manchestereveningnews.co.uk

Manchester United will be putting their focus firmly on the Champions League today as they prepare for the trip to Galatasaray.

However, in the context of their season, Wednesday's game in Turkey is massive. Erik ten Hag's men sit bottom of their group and defeat will likely end any chances of reaching the knockout stages of the competition.

Rasmus Hojlund was a notable absentee on Sunday but following Martial's goal there may not be a need to rush the Dane back in midweek.
