Manchester United will be aiming to keep their hopes of reaching the Champions League knockout stages alive on Wednesday night when they travel to Rams Park to take on Galatasaray. And ahead of the showdown, Galatasaray ultras have told home fans they are not allowed to use their mobile phones to access social media during the match.<\/p>\n
United got their Champions League campaign off to the worst possible start in September when they were beaten 4-3 by Bayern Munich in Germany. The Red Devils then suffered a surprise 3-2 home defeat against Galatasaray in their second encounter.<\/p>\n
A 1-0 Old Trafford victory against Copenhagen followed as Erik ten Hag\u2019s side made hard work of their Danish opponents. But after losing to Copenhagen away from home earlier this month, United\u2019s Champions League place in hanging by a thread.<\/p>\n
Ahead of Wednesday\u2019s clash, United find themselves bottom of the Group A table with three points. Second-place Copenhagen and third-place Galatasaray are level on four points, with Bayern already cementing their place in the knockout stages after winning all four of their encounters.<\/p>\n

And before Galatasaray\u2019s showdown with the Premier League giants, the club\u2019s ultras posted a message on social media to tell fans not to use their phones. \u201cThere is no social media in the stands\u201d, they wrote.<\/p>\n The ban may have been put in place so Galatasaray fans can give their wholehearted support to their team rather than being faced with online distractions. Red Devils fan channel The United Stand featured the post on their X (formerly Twitter) page and wrote: \u201cThere is absolutely no social media\/phones allowed in the stands when the game is being played. 90 minutes of aggressive support. Go to war with the team!\u201d<\/p>\n Galatasaray are a formidable side on home soil, with Rams Park delivering one of the most intimidating atmospheres in world football. The Turkish club have won all six of their league matches in front of their own fans this season, although they were defeated by Bayern Munich on their own patch last month.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
