Manchester United vs Galatasaray: Champions League prediction, kick-off time, team news, TV, live stream, odds
Former Red Devils winger Wilfried Zaha is in line for his full European debut for the Istanbul side, which also boasts the talents of Mauro Icardi up front.
An unbeaten start to the season has seen Gala fight from two goals down to draw with Copenhagen in their opening match of the tournament, however it was a contest they dominated only to be let down by some wayward finishing.
If confidence is high among the Turks, it is fairly flat in Manchester after a fifth defeat of the season at home to Crystal Palace on the weekend.
United lost their opening Champions League group game to Bayern Munich and must improve if they are to reach the last-16.
