As it stands, Manchester United is at the bottom of Table A in the Champions League after losing three of their four Group Stage matches. The Red Devils have suffered precarious inconsistencies already this season, both in the Champions League and the Premier League.
The Premier League giants have also been eliminated in the Carabao Cup, and tonight, they have the chance to either spell their innevitable doom in Europe, or fight fiercely for redemption, like they did so convincingly well against Everton on Sunday.
Thierry Henry and Micah Richards predict winner between Man Utd vs Galatasaray
Premier League legends Thierry Henry and Micah Richards have made bold predictions for Manchester United’s Champions League clash with Galatasaray on Wednesday, November 29. Both Henry and Richards express the belief that the Red Devils are unlikely to secure a positive result against the Turkish giants, expressing that Manchester United will lose.
It goes without saying that Manchester United will face a hostile Galatasaray at home tonight. Both team’s first encounter was at Old Trafford, yet it was severely unfavourable for the home team. However, Manchester United need tonight’s win if they will stand a chance to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League, which is already taking shape.
The Red Devils have been inconsistent since the start of the season. Recently, however, the team has begun to gather some momentum, especially with the thrilling victory over Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday.
After their Premier League encounter, Erik ten Hag’s team aims to extend their winning streak against Galatasaray at RAMS Park. However, Micah Richards holds a different view. The former Manchester City defender anticipates a setback for the Premier League giants in Turkey.
“I think they will lose. I do,” Richards said on CBS Sports. “They are bottom of the group, they have not been playing well in the Champions League, it’s a tough ask to go there.”
Thierry Henry echoed Micah Richards’ sentiments, anticipating a challenging match for the Red Devils.
“It’s going to be a tough one because Galatasaray are doing well at the minute and have some tricky players who can hurt you. I don’t wish on United to lose like those guys over there but I think it’s going to be a tough one,” the Frenchman added.”
It goes without saying that Manchester United needs to defy all odds and emerge victorious tonight.
