Erik names team for Galatasaray game
Erik ten Hag has named his Manchester United starting line-up for Tuesday's UEFA Champions League meeting with Galatasaray.
The Reds are looking for a turnaround in form at home following the recent defeat to Crystal Palace and need the points in Group A, after matchday one's 4-3 reverse at Bayern Munich.
Ten Hag has made one change for the visit of the Turkish side, who drew 2-2 with FC Copenhagen in their European opener last month.

Hannibal - who played well as a starter in the wins over Burnley and Palace, in the Carabao Cup - returns to the side in place of Facundo Pellistri, who is on the bench.
“One change we thought [to] bring that energy,” Erik said when explaining the switch and why Hannibal hadn’t featured on Saturday. “But also Hannibal's a very young player. He is not able to play three times in a week, he is not at that experience. So we want to keep him in that energy.”It looks as though Sofyan Amrabat will continue as an auxiliary left-back, as United's three first-choice left-backs are all still out injured, while Bruno Fernandes or Mason Mount look best-placed to start on the right of the attack.
Antony is back in the matchday squad, with the Brazilian named as a substitute, and former United winger Wilfried Zaha starts for the visitors.
United: Onana; Dalot, Varane, Lindelof, Amrabat; Casemiro, Hannibal; Fernandes (c), Mount, Rashford; Hojlund.
Substitutes: Bayindir, Vitek, Maguire, Evans, Eriksen, Antony, Pellistri, McTominay, Martial, Garnacho.
