Man United Boss Ten Hag Has Plan To Deal With Galatasaray ‘Hell’

Erik ten Hag has insisted that he has a “plan” and asked his Manchester United players to remain composed despite the intense atmosphere at Galatasaray.

‘Welcome to Hell’ was the banner waving Turkish fans greeted the Red Devils hostilely at the Istanbul airport after United’s infamous 1993–94 season match. The phrase has stuck with the club for thirty years. Having had Marcus Rashford sent off in their most recent Champions League match at Copenhagen and Casemiro sent off during their October loss to Galatasaray at Old Trafford, the manager stated that his players would need to remain alert amidst the commotion. But he does have a plan, which he hopes the players will carry out well.

“Absolutely, you have to stay calm in your head and don’t get too emotional and control emotion, don’t give them anything, the referee as well, don’t give them a moment they can take, so you have to stay away from such moments,” Ten Hag told a press conference.

“You have to make it your game, it is not that important how the opponent is playing, it is how you are playing. We will make a good plan and the players they have to decide. We have to make our game and it is history. Manchester United has a great history, we have to make our own.”

United needs to win in order to have a genuine chance of retaining their Champions League spot when they visit Galatasaray, where they have never triumphed. In Group A, they are at the bottom having lost three of their four games.
