--------SCORE 1-0------- Manchester takes an early lead
Manchester United and Galastasaray meet in their first matches of the EUFA Champions League.
The two clubs have not faced each other in almost a decade. Their last meeting was in 1993. Ferguson's troops travelled to Istanbul in the second leg of a second round tie. The Red Devils were elimiated in the round by the resilient Turks 3-3 at Old Trafford.
The team had a disappointing outing as they were bounced in the group stage. Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United will try to get a point across to their competitors this season.
Ferguson has two Champions League titles in his pocket and would not mind going after a third. If they can win this year, he will find himself tied with Bob Paisley of Liverpool.
United are set to start striker Robin van Persie after the Dutchman was rested for the weekend's 4-0 win over Wigan.
Defender Patrice Evra is also expected to return to the starting line-up after he also missed Saturday's action with a minor knock. United are still without Wayne Rooney, Chris Smalling and Phil Jones, who remain on the sidelines.
The players have hit the court and Manchester United started off with an early attack.
Manchester United: Anders Lindegaard, Rafael, Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand, Alexander Büttner, Paul Scholes, Michael Carrick, Antonio Valencia, Shinji Kagawa, Nani, Robin Van Persie
Galastasaray: Fernando Muslera, Emmanuel Eboue, Cris, Semih Kaya, Hakan Balta, Felipe Melo, Selcuk Inan, Burak Yilmaz, Aydin Yilmaz, Johan Elmander, Nordin Amrabat
