Match forecast
As of now, the visitors will approach this match without some of their key players who include the likes of Eric Bailly, Antonio Valencia, Chris Smalling and Anthony Martial due to injuries. But Bastian Schweinsteiger is back to training with the first-team squad after being snubbed by Mourinho since his appointment as Man Utd boss.

That means they could have some defensive problems considering the fact that the hosts boasts of the likes of former Man Utd forward Robin Van Persie to their ranks. The Dutchman scored the only goal for his side in the first leg as they went down 4-1 in what was considered as one of the best performances of the Old Trafford outfit this season.
Mourinho’s men are under pressure to sharpen their attack having had 37 shots against Burnley last weekend but still failed to find the back of the net. Another man who’ll be closely monitored by both fans and critics is Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who has been struggling to find the back of the net for the English giants despite his promising start. With the visitors struggling to find the back of the net even against the easiest of opposition, they could easily go down in Turkey on Thursday.
