Manchester United vs Istanbul Basaksehir: How to live stream, time, venue, who will win and all the pre-match buzz around the Champions League clash
Manchester United are now showing signs of promise. With two back-to-back wins in their Premier League outings, the most recent one against West Brom, the Red Devils will now look for payback against Istanbul Basaksehir when they host the side at Old Trafford on Tuesday (November 24) as part of the Champions League fixture. The last time the two sides met, Basaksehir notched up a 2-1 win and what followed was some severe backlash against the team and manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Solskjaer's men need this win to stay top of Group H of the Champions League, with RB Leipzig & PSG hot on their heels. Here's a quick primer ahead of the game:

Pre-buzz around the game
Paul Pogba could be in for the game while Solskjaer is confident of giving some minutes of Mason Greenwood. The good news for the Red Devils is the fact they have bounced back to form with wins over Everton and West Brom. Basaksehir, on the other hand, followed up their win against United with Genclerbirligi 2-1 at home but lost to Besiktas after the international break. The visitors will be without the services of goalkeeper Mert Gunok and midfielder Danijel Aleksic, who both tested positive for the coronavirus recently.
It might not have been the perfect win for United against West Brom, but they will take anything to get that winning confidence back. Solskjaer hoped Greenwood's return would provide the spark the team needs. "We're looking forward to having Mason back fit again and well, so hopefully we can hit some form as we did toward the end of last season," said Solskjaer, according to ESPN.
Who will win?
Expect United to bounce back with a win on their home turf. The momentum is with the side at the moment and they will be keen to keep the winning streak going.
