Erik ten Hag has made four changes to his starting XI for tonight’s crucial Champions League clash away to Galatasaray and there is a timely return for one of their brightest young stars.<\/p>\n
There is a return to the line-up for \u00a372million striker Rasmus Hojlund, who missed Sunday’s trip to Everton through injury.<\/p>\n
Hojlund’s return is keenly felt given he has been a revelation in the Champions League with five goals already in the tournament.\u00a0Only PSV Eindhoven’s Luuk de Jong, who has seven this season, boasts more.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Dane will lead the line in place of Anthony Martial and he will be flanked by Alejandro Garnacho – fresh off his wondrous overhead kick at Goodison Park – and Antony, who has returned to the side in place of Marcus Rashford, who is suspended after his red card against FC Copenhagen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, there is a return at right back for Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who replaces Diogo Dalot, and impressive youngster Kobbie Mainoo drops to the bench in favour of Sofyan Amrabat in midfield.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On the bench, academy striker Joe Hugill finds himself among the substitutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It is a massive night for Ten Hag and Manchester United as defeat would see them eliminated from the Champions League.<\/p>\n
Hojlund scored twice against Galatasaray at Old Trafford, only to find himself on the losing team as United shot themselves in the foot that night to lose 3-2.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They cannot afford a repeat tonight and should they fail to win this evening their fate to reach the last-16 would be out of their control heading into the final round of matches when they host Bayern Munich.\u00a0<\/p>\n
