Last time out in the Champions League, United were embarrassed by Turkish side Galatasaray, who beat Ten Hag and co. at Old Trafford 3-2 thanks to a late Mauro Icardi strike.<\/p>\n<p>As a result of that defeat, coupled with their opening group game loss to Harry Kane and Bayern Munich, United currently sit bottom of Group A due to Copenhagen drawing their opener against Galatasaray. While there are still four games left, United have been left with an uphill battle to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League.<\/p>\n<p><b>READ MORE: TikTok beauty claims Man Utd players are &apos;in her DMs&apos; as she says &apos;what the f***&apos;<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>READ MORE: Man Utd vs Copenhagen referee was forced to suspend game due to earthquake<\/b><\/p>\n<p>But should they finish third in their group, most likely behind Bayern and Galatasaray, then they will be playing Europa League football in 2024.
