Lisa Fallon: Any kind of win will do for Manchester United against Galatasaray

Poor form at home and the lack of a settled team are issues for Manchester United ahead of tonight's Champions League tie at home to Galatasaray, with RTÉ anlayst Lisa Fallon saying that a win, no matter how pretty, is essential for Erik ten Hag's side.

United's Premier League form has been poor so far, losing four of their seven games played, the latest being Saturday's 1-0 loss at home to Crystal Palace.

As a consequence, there is now much riding on the clash with the Turkish champions, with Fallon telling RTÉ Radio 1's Morning Ireland: "It's massive really coming off the back of a defeat.

"One of the things about Manchester United is how strong their home form has been, particularly last season, where they only lost once at home. Already they have lost twice at home this season, only just beat Wolves and came from 2-0 down against Nottingham Forest.

"For Erik ten Hag and United fans, they probably see this game with a little bit of trepidation and don't have the confidence they would normally have going into a Champions League game. The real problem for Ten Hag is that he cannot get a settled XI on the pitch. There are so many injuries and they have a real problem in the right-back position.

"Luke Shaw is still injured and Amrabat [Sofyan] had to play there at the weekend.

"If you don't have a fairly settled team and your home form is not good, with the team not having that resilience, that's a problem for you going into Europe.

"I think for mindset they have to win this one.
