<\/p>\n
Manchester United\u2019s match at Galatasaray is set to go ahead after bad weather throughout the day in Istanbul had put the Champions League clash in doubt.<\/p>\n
Relentless rain has been falling in the Turkish city throughout the day and there are concerns over the state of the pitch at Rams Park.<\/p>\n
A statement from UEFA said: \u201cWe are closely monitoring the weather forecast and at this time the match will go ahead as scheduled.\u201d<\/p>\n
United and Galatasaray arrived as planned, beginning their warm-ups as scheduled.<\/p>\n
Erik ten Hag\u2019s men go into the match bottom of Group A having lost three of their four games so far in this season\u2019s competition, and without a win away to Galatasaray in their last three visits.<\/p>\n
Galatasaray twice came from behind to win 3-2 when the sides met at Old Trafford in October, with Mauro Icardi scoring an 81st-minute winner after United midfielder Casemiro had been sent off.<\/p>\n
