Manchester United are without a number of key players for Sunday’s ominous trip to Liverpool, including Bruno Fernandes.
Manchester United's main problem laid bare with damning Champions League statistic
30.11.2023 - 14:33 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
How do you begin to explain to someone that Manchester United have scored three goals in each of their three Champions League away group games this season and have amassed just a point?
Wednesday night's pulsating 3-3 draw with Galatasaray at Rams Park in Istanbul all but ended United's hopes of progressing to the last-16 of Europe's premier club competition. They must now beat Bayern Munich at Old Trafford on matchday six and hope there is nothing to split FC Copenhagen and Galatasaray.
Though each of those two outcomes are possible, as is anything in football, the odds are stacked against United. They have frozen in big moments in the Champions League this term and it is likely to cost them dearly.

After losing to Bayern in their opening group game at the Allianz Arena, United were expected to pick up a good haul of points from their four meetings with Galatasaray and Copenhagen by the time they faced Bayern again on December 12. Instead, they have amassed just four points from a possible 12.
All the more frustrating for manager Erik ten Hag is the fact United have dropped eight points from winning positions in the competition this season, five of which have been sacrificed on their travels. Just as they did in Copenhagen last month, the Reds raced into a 2-0 lead in Istanbul and were on course for a maximum haul.
However, though they extended their lead to 3-1 on this occasion, they surrendered their advantage and crumbled. Though goalkeeper Andre Onana could have done nothing about Kerem Akturkoglu's emphatic equaliser, he did not cover himself in glory
