Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk has indicated he will try to expose whoever fills in at left-back for Manchester United in Tuesday’s Champions League tie.
The former Turkey star - who scored his country’s first-ever goal at a European Championships in 2000 - has also pinpointed Marcus Rashford as a danger man and explained how he plans to combat his threat.
Galatasaray have enjoyed an unbeaten start to the season and produced a stunning late comeback to draw 2-2 with FC Copenhagen in their opening Champions League group clash. They travel to Old Trafford without Hakim Ziyech, formerly of Erik ten Hag’s Ajax, but do take fellow summer signing Wilfried Zaha.

The attacker has spoken about his rocky spell at United ahead of Tuesday's fixture after netting his maiden strike for his new club at the weekend.
Zaha, who played just four times for United between 2013 and 2015, said: "I don't talk about Manchester United but about what we can do as a team, how we can dominate them with our own game. This is what we want to do against Manchester United."
Manager Buruk exuded the same air of optimism ahead of a clash where both sides will be under pressure to get their first win of the competition. "It is a very important match for both us and Manchester United," said Buruk.
"We played the match two days ago [a 2-1 win against Ankaragucu]. We don't have much training time. We trained in Istanbul and came back."
