Things are not going well for Manchester United.
That shouldn’t be a big deal for a club the size of United and it is a big favorite to beat Galatasaray at Old Trafford, but with the way things are going it’s hard to feel confident this will be a straightforward contest for the Red Devils.It isn’t just one thing that’s going wrong for Erik ten Hag’s side out of the gates.
You could forgive the Red Devils for being suspect defensively if they were buoyant going forward, but they rank 11th in the Premier League in non-penalty expected goals for, 13th big scoring chances created and ninth in expected threat.We all know that this team has too much talent to stay at this level all season, and they should improve when they get healthier, but those are long-term outlooks.
Palace closed as a +487 underdog in that match, which makes it pretty peculiar that Galatasaray is sitting at +600 for Tuesday’s showdown at Old Trafford. Sure, you can make an adjustment for Galatasaray traveling to Turkey, but this is a very talented team with familiar faces all over the lineup.
