MANCHESTER UNITED fans are fearing the worst ahead of their upcoming Champions League clash after discovering who the opposition manager is.
The Red Devils face Galatasaray at Old Trafford on Tuesday as they look to get off the mark in the group stages after last month’s 4-3 defeat at Bayern Munich.

They go into the game with spirits low following Saturday’s dismal 1-0 home loss to Crystal Palace.
And the mood amongst the club’s fan base sank even further after they realised who will be in charge of Galatasaray tomorrow.
Okan Buruk, a former Turkish international in his playing days, took over the giants in 2022 and led them to the title in his first season in charge.
Prior to that role, he was the boss of rivals Istanbul Basaksehir, who he also guided to Super Lig success in 2020.
However, during that stint he also secured one of the club’s most famous victories.
Back in November 2020, Demba Ba and Edin Visca both scored as they beat Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s United in the Champions league group stages.
Some United supporters will have already been aware of Buruk being at Galatasaray, but for those that were not, an X account by the name of Ten Hag’s Reds soon pointed it out.
They posted: “The coach of Istanbul Basaksehir in this game is the manager of Galatasary right now…”

And that led to an almost instant reaction, with one fan stating: “We’re not ready.”
Another wrote: “We’re in trouble aren’t we.”
Those sentiments were echoed as a fellow fan said: “We’re getting knocked out in the group aren’t we?”
While another added: “We are definitely losing tomorrow can’t escape it.”
