Man Utd's Champions League clash with Galatasaray in doubt

Manchester United face a nervous wait to see if their Champions League group stage clash with Galatasaray will go ahead on Wednesday evening due to the weather in Istanbul.

Reporters on the ground have made note of the heavy rain that has been falling all day in the Turkish metropolis, which has led to concerns over the condition of the pitch at Rams Park.

Images show patches of standing water on the saturated turf and UEFA officials have been sent out to inspect the playing surface. Until a decision is made otherwise, the game will continue to go ahead.

Kick-off is scheduled for 8:45pm local time, which is 5:45pm GMT.

Elsewhere in Istanbul on Wednesday, United and Galatasaray’s Under-19 teams had already met in the UEFA Youth League, playing the game in torrential rain as the hosts won 1-0.
