Sure Win for Ten Hag: Duo return – Man Utd’s strongest possible 4-2-3-1 starting XI vs Galatasaray

Critical Champions League Clash for Manchester United

Manchester United finds themselves at the precarious bottom of their Champions League group, and another defeat tonight could mark the end of their European campaign for the season.

In the upcoming match against Galatasaray, the Turkish champions who previously secured a victory at Old Trafford, the Red Devils face a stern challenge. The home advantage for Galatasaray adds to the pressure, making the encounter even more formidable for United.

In terms of team news, manager Erik ten Hag has delivered a boost by confirming the return of key attacking players Antony and Hojlund to the Match Day squad.

Danish forward Hojlund, the leading scorer in the Champions League for United with 5 goals in 4 appearances, is likely to spearhead the attack as the lone striker.

Following his standout goal last weekend, Garnacho is expected to start on the left flank. With Rashford serving a suspension, Antony is set to return on the right wing.

Captain Bruno Fernandes is anticipated to retain his central attacking midfield (CAM) position in the starting lineup.

In the midfield, the impressive Kobbie Mainoo, who caught attention in the recent match against Everton, may earn another start alongside Scott McTominay.

The defensive setup is likely to feature Luke Shaw and Diogo Dalot as fullbacks, while Maguire and Lindelof form the central defensive partnership in front of goalkeeper Andre Onana.

Manchester United’s potential strongest starting lineup in a 4-2-3-1 formation against Galatasaray:
Onana; Dalot, Maguire, Lindelof, Shaw; McTominay, Mainoo; Antony, Fernandes, Garnacho; Hojlund.
