Ten Hag's side will be without forward Marcus Rashford at Galatasaray as he serves a one-game ban for his sending off in the 4-3 defeat at FC Copenhagen last time out.

United host group winners Bayern Munich, who have a perfect record of 12 points, on Dec. 12 in their final game in the section but their fate is not in their own hands.

"You have to stay away from
