I'm not as optimistic as you about Galatasaray, of course I admit they have a chance of getting through to the last 16 but ignoring Manchester United completely is bad. Manchester United and all the teams in group A have a chance regardless of how good their chances are, but underestimating any of them is a mistake in my opinion.

I, you and anyone here cannot confirm anything before all these teams finish their respective matches. In my opinion, one of Galatasaray and Manchester United deserves to accompany Bayern Munich to the round of 16 this season, but it all really depends on how the two of them end the next 3 matches. Both of them will definitely fight for 1 place, the opportunities are not much different and relatively the same.

Yes I am with you here. I saw the game Galatasaray-Bayern Munich and if they repeat that game exactly like that a dozen of times, Galatasaray wins it 80% of the time I think. They had far superior chances and dominated the game really for 70 minutes, it was crazy to watch. But they defeated themselves because if you don't turn those opportunities into goals, it is almost inevitable to lose the game against Bayern Munich eventually. They could have had a lead of maybe 2-0 or on a lucky day 3-0. I think if they scored the first goal, Bayern Munich might have collapsed in that game.

Manchester united will be facing Copenhagen who they happen to win in their first meeting at old Trafford, I'm hoping Manchester wins against Copenhagen even if it's with just a goal difference as this game is very crucial to them qualifying for the next round of the UCL.

Manchester united should see this as an opportunity to get extra three points and get six points so they will be ahead of Galatasaray by two points, and Galatasaray will be facing Bayern Munich from which I doubt they could get full three points, they could manage to steal a point from them of which I'd they do and Manchester wins, they will be behind by a point, then if they meet Manchester again Manchester draws against them, Manchester stand a chance to qualify than Galatasaray may do if after these two game they gat all win or a win and a draw but them I'm scared Manchester can make it, and if they eventually qualify it's also possible they could crash out at then knock out stage.

There is nothing special that makes Manchester United able to advance with Bayern Munich to the round of 16 and I agree with you that Galatassaray deserves it more than Manchester United. Galatassaray can make good use of the remaining three matches with a difference of 1 point by holding Bayern Munich to a draw and beating Manchester United and Copenhagen. So that will maintain their chances of becoming runners up in Group A. Meanwhile, in my opinion, it is very impossible for Manchester United to beat Bayern Munich, so they have almost no chance of qualifying.

I will not count the match against bayern since im sure bayern will be winning the game against MU but we can still have hope since united was able winning the previous match. it has now same points to the galatasaray. The only chance for MU to go to the next round as long as manchester united will able to beat galatasaray and copenhagen. The match against galatasaray will become the most important key in this match. The chances owned by galatasaray and manchester united are the same at this moment.
That being said that if the low chance is still exist for manchester united but i dunno what's going to happen with it. I can still trust MU in UCL since galatasaray and copenhagen will become the main key to be qualified for the next round.

The defenders of manchester united must also aware about how to performing even better than before. The match against newcastle has proven that if manchester united has no good defense at this moment and so ten hag needs to find the right solution to fix this problem as soon as possible.
MY eyes are being focused into the match between MU vs galatasaray and MU vs copenhagen. Failing to win this match would be the end for manchester united.  

Did you watch the first 70 minutes of the Galatasaray-Bayern Munich game?
Galatasaray played so well that Bayern Munich couldn't do anything.
This year Galatasaray is playing very well and the fans are giving great support.

Harry Kane; Galatasaray fans deafened me.

M.United will come to one of the loudest stadiums in the world.

Everybody knows from the way they performed last season, and other seasons Manchester united is not that bad and they are not in form and they always blame their one player for there lost which is really not healthy for the team, every player makes there own mistakes but should be used as correction not blamed.  The challenges of Manchester United is plenty and there is no way it will be fixed this season. Even in the EFL when I saw their pair against Newcastle I already know the  outcome of the match that they can not handle Newcastle. And it is now looking as if they are failing in all leagues. Manchester United should be able to handle Galatasaray well believe that, it will be an easy one or even end draw.


We all know what Manchester united is going through but is natural every club have their own season, as bad as Manchester united situation is i think they should still be able to beat Galatasaray or even draw them. If its about Galatasaray putting pressure on Manchester united i don't argue that. Been a good representative in the Turkish league anything is expected. That is the problem of Manchester united doesn’t maximize its performance. We know playing on the pitch have a lot of pressure but the should know were there energy is going into. And they lack consistency and that word is what is currently affecting many clubs.

Well, Manchester united can't go far in the Champions league with their current form now, Erik Ten Hag needs lots of work to do on the united team before they can confidently win matches, for me I prefer they should just go to Europa and see if they can perform better there.

Manchester united performance is not commendable at all imagine conceding 6 goals at home within just an interval of 3 days, losing 0:3 to Manchester city and also losing 0:3 to Newcastle united, its really very difficult for Manchester united right now and i think Ten Hag should do something in other to improve United's performance

I don't think so. If Manchester United's performance had only been poor in the Champions League I would have thought they would have sorted out their problems very quickly and got back on track. But the performance of Manchester United team is also very bad in Premier League. And the most important thing for the team now is to improve their position in the Premier League points table. They are currently eighth in the Premier League. Manchester United is 8 points behind Liverpool who is in fourth place now.

In such a situation, if Manchester United qualify for the knockout round of the Champions League, I don't think they will benefit much. They are more likely to be eliminated in the knockout rounds if their performance does not improve. So United should now focus on the Premier League. And should try to bring stability to their performance.

Let's say Bayern Munich sweep all 3 matches with a win or they win the group with perfect points, that means there will be 2 matches that will be decisive, either for Manchester United or for Galatasaray. Assuming both teams win against Copenhagen, Manchester United's victory against Galatasaray will not allow them to qualify for the last 16 as they are still below Galatasaray on points. But this is only one scenario and indeed in this scenario Galatasaray will be more favored.
Anything can happen, and if they want to be safe, Manchester United must sweep 3 matches with a victory. But the problem is that I doubt they will do that. Or with another scenario like Mancehster United holding Bayern Munich to a draw, it will make them have to compete in goal productivity with Galatasaray.

Usually a game that is announced as Galatasaray Istanbul vs. Manchester United wouldn't be all that exciting, but this time it is indeed a top game in the Champions League because Galatasaray has delivered some impressive performances and Manchester United has to win the game or they would literally be game over in that group to qualify for the final round. But not only that, I also think that losing against Galatasaray could mean the beginning of the end for ten Hag. There will be so much fire in the game with all the glorious Istanbul fans! I recently read that it is the second loudest stadium in the world? Holy it must be intimidating to play there when there is no way out but to win the game. There is only one thing that would help Manchester United and that is a very early goal.

The deciding match will occur during Manchester United's match against Galatasaray. In the first match, Manchester United suffered a defeat against Galatasaray at home so that the possibility of Manchester United winning the second match will be very difficult, especially since the match will be played at Galatasaray.
If you finish in 3rd place and enter the Europa League it is very possible, but if you can get through from the group phase I think Manchester United has a very small chance, I say that because it is realistic with Manchester United's very poor performance at the moment.

If Manchester United managed to wins the match again Copenhagen in the away match, Manchester United will be in 2nd placed in group A temporarily and Galatasaray will probably lose point when they face Bayern Munich in the same match.
Manchester United chance are difficult to qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League because we know that Manchester United current performanced is uncertain, but at least we hope thats Manchester United will be in 3rd place and advance to the European League group stage, that is if Manchester does not experience defeat when confronted with Copenhagen.

Yes, it true that currently Newcastle doesn't have players who look reliable or it could be said that Newcastle doesn't have any top players, but we can see how the club coached by Eddie Howe has a very good performance because Eddie Howe provides the right strategy to make Newcastle players into players. important role so that you don't just rely on a few players and we can see from the last few matches that Eddie Howe always changes his main players and always manages to win in every match and this is the greatness of Eddie Howe strategy.
For Manchester united, I have quite doubts about this club. Maybe you say Manchester United could beat Copenhagen, but I say it looks like will only end in draw considering that Manchester united does not have high consistency so the chance of qualifying for the next round is very small.

I agree with you that Manchester United might finish second in Group A. Your feelings are mine. Manchester United, Galatasaray, and Copenhagen are the genuine contenders for qualification, with Bayern Munich nearly certain. United will play Copenhagen away, and the odds look in their favor. I read that Ten Hag expects Casemiro and Bissaka to recover from injuries, which might strengthen the team. Malacia and Luke Shaw returning to form before the Galatasaray encounter will also help. Galatasaray's trip is difficult, especially with their Allianz Arena match. Given their 1-3 setback in the first encounter, it'll be a tough climb. Thus, I agree with you that Manchester United could follow in Bayern and finish second

Some of the players for Newcastle have not been their finest and best players to be selected for the Champions league list of players that won PSG but yet they still won the game last to Man United.
If Ten Hag fails to keep this players under control and shape them how he wants them to play there will be enough reasonable calls for him to be sacked.
They can win Copenhagen,  not Bayern Munich and if we'll checked out they can not get the against Galatasaray.
Enough Man United old players have started dragging his flaws out.

You are right. With Manchester United's current form, qualifying for the round of 16 won't benefit them too much. They will be eliminated from the knockout round. Because almost every team in the Round of 16 will be very strong. It would be better to try to qualify for the Europa League from third place in the table. Playing in the Europa League, Manchester United will have a chance to become the Europa League Champions if they play well. But winning the Europa League title is also much more difficult. Strong teams like Leverkusen, Liverpool and Roma play in the Europa League.



I don't think so. Manchester United's performance is not only poor in the Champions League. They are also performing very poorly in the Premier League. And Ten Hag must take responsibility for this failure. He got enough funds to strengthen the party. But he failed.

The highest that they can achieve is third position because they're still struggle against Galatasaray and Copenhagen.

Next week Manchester United will match against Copenhagen again, Copenhagen should revenge back their previous lose.

I doubt Galatasaray can hold the match until draw, Bayern Munich have a good defend and attack, Neuer also recovered from his injury.

One of the best teams in the Super Lig is Galatasaray. And this season also the performance of this team is very good. Galatasaray is still unbeaten in the Super Lig. They have consistently performed well. The performance of Galatasaray's players in the away match against Manchester United in the Champions League match is absolutely commendable. They played very well. And in the form Manchester United are in right now, Galatasaray's overall performance is much better than United's. There is only one way to put Manchester United ahead, and that is that United are very experienced on the Champions League platform. But if the players do not perform well, if the bonding between the players is not good, the experience is of no use.

I am not too sure that MU will be ranked 2nd in group A with 3 more matches left for a total of 6 matches, Mu suffered another defeat with Newcastle 0-3, I am much more confident that Galatasaray will enter the next top 16. Even though next week they will face quite tough opponents, at least they will provide resistance in the match. I have high hopes that they will end in a draw in the match, so that the point difference is maintained.
