MANCHESTER UNITED face Galatasaray in their most important game this season – but there are fears it might not go ahead.
The Red Devils must win this evening in order to keep their European hopes alive.
And after Alejandro Garnacho’s incredible goal inspired United to an Everton win, they’ll be oozing with confidence.
But fans are now anxious as there have been fears that the game will get called off.
Why could Man Utd’s match against Galatasaray get called off?
Around 2,500 travelling United fans have been warned to take extra care due to the extreme weather warnings.
Heavy rain has already started to flood the streets of Istanbul, with strong winds also expected ahead of kick-off.
Despite the weather, Man Utd’s Under-19’s still faced Galatasaray in the UEFA Youth League at lunchtime, winning 1-0.
But while the full game was played, it was severely impacted by a waterlogged pitch at the Recep Tayyip Erdogan Stadium.
A commentator for MUTV even deemed it as “unplayable” with 20 minutes remaining.
Pitch inspections have taken place after Istanbul has been hit with torrential wind and rain.
