  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    United are in their third strip to avoid a clash with the home side's iconic red and yellow shirts. Galatasaray also wear white shorts which has made United tweak their kit. Fans were able to see the kit in action earlier in the day when the Under-19s faced off in the UEFA Youth League.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    WHAT NEXT FOR MAN UTD?

    Manchester United start the game in third place in the group and must take three points to keep their hopes of qualification alive. Group leaders Bayern Munich have already booked their place in the last 16 and take on FC Copenhagen in the other fixture. A win for Gala would see United make an early exit from Europe's premier club competition.
