Manchester United is playing more than one match in the Champions League, which is important, against Galatasaray. The rule says that the English are favourites, but the situation around the club is not really favorable and anything can happen now at an Old Trafford that won’t let even a bit pass after they booed their team away this past year. weekend after losing to Crystal Palace.
The one with the most to lose is undoubtedly Erik ten Hag. Although at the moment there are no serious rumors about his possible departure, or that he has lost the confidence of the Glazers, who are more eager to sell the club, the fans are beginning to tire of the team’s inconsistency, not to begin with a positive streak for what it is on the course.
The Dutch coach is not the only problem by any means. Instead, criticism focused on the team, which had problems both in terms of form and ambition. Jadon Sancho remains far from discipline and has confirmed that he is one of the great failures in the history of Manchester United. Another of the names last month was Antony, absent after being accused of sexually assaulting his ex-partner but will be back on call today, although he is not expected to get too many minutes unless absolutely necessary.
The situation at the Champions level is drawing attention. United lost their first game against Bayern Munich but gave a good image. After all, if Onana hadn’t made a mistake, they would have scored. But the goalkeeper, as well as Marcus Rashford, who should be the mainstays of the team, is a real Russian roulette. Furthermore, the English striker, who exited in the second round last year, added just one goal in this one. And if this is not enough, the losses of Lisandro Martínez, Wan-Bissaka, Shaw, Malacia and Diallo do not leave many alternatives to the Ten Hag.
This whole situation is perfect for Galatasaray to pull the trigger, although it’s never easy to beat an English team and even less if you have to do it at Old Trafford. With Ziyech a major doubt for the match, an old man known as Wiflried Zaha will lead the Ottoman attack, partnered by none other than Mauro Icardi.
