Man Utd will face Galatasaray in a do-or-die UCL match

Manchester United must be prepared for a bad scenario on the fifth matchday of the 2023/2024 Champions League. Because, if they lose to Galatasaray, the Red Devils might lose their chance to qualify for the round of 16. Erik ten Hag's troops set to meet Galatasaray on the fifth matchday of Group A of the 2023/2024 Champions League on Wednesday. This match will be played at the Rams Global Stadium, Galatasaray's home ground.

For Manchester United, this result will be very decisive. The duel against the Turkish club can determine whether or not Erik ten Hag's men will advance to the round of 16. Currently, Manchester United is in fourth position, at the bottom of Group A. The opportunity to fail in the group phase is very possible. Likewise, the opportunity to qualify for the Top 16.

Marcus Rashford and teammates have played four matches in Group A. Of those four matches, The Red Devils lost three times and won once. They have only got three points from four matches. There are only two games left for Manchester United and they will be very decisive. On the fifth matchday, United will travel to Galatasaray's home.

If they lose to Galatasaray, United will still be at the bottom of the standings. United has the opportunity to fail to qualify for the round of 16. Because, with one match remaining, United cannot catch up with the points that Galatasaray got. Cimbom will get seven points if they win against United. Meanwhile, with three points and one game remaining, United has no hope of qualifying for the round of 16. However, they also still have hope and the opportunity to qualify for the Round of 16 is still open because United is only one point behind Galatasaray and FC Copenhagen.

If they win over Galatasaray, United will get six points. They will overtake Galatasaray who has four points. United's progress to the Round of 16 will be determined on the sixth matchday against the German giants Bayern Munich. However, winning against Galatasaray is not an easy scenario. The Turkish club is very strong when playing at home and this season, they just lost to Bayern Munich.

However, United still has the opportunity to 'drop down' to the Europa League by being in third place in Group A. This is a worse scenario but United has the opportunity to become bottom of Group A if they lose to Galatasaray and in the other match, FC Copenhagen wins against Bayern Munich.
