Midweek Review - 19 Sep 2012

Manchester United vs Galatasary


An easy win against Wigan even without Rooney and RVP, with debut goals from Buttner and Powell. And we begin our European campaign from a visit by Galatasary.

Galatasary, champions of Turkish League 11/12 coached under Fatih Terim, would want to do well since a 5 year absence from the competition. We will also see several ex-Premier League players such as Emmanuel Eboue, Milan Baros, Albert Riera and Johan Elmander.

The Turkish team, has not won on England soil, however Man Utd record against Turkish teams are 3 wins, 1 loss and 2 draw, with the most recent from Besiktas winning at Old Trafford in 09/10 season.

Without Rooney and RVP, Fergie will want to use the same 11 that faced Wigan, for Galatasary match.

Man Utd is giving 1.5 handicap. Bookies are expecting Man Utd to step the pedal from the first whistle, which i doubt so as Man Utd are traditionally slow starters in domestic and European campaigns.
