Manchester United, on the other hand, lost 1-0 to Arsenal yesterday in the English Premier League.

A second-half penalty from star striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was enough to condemn Ole Gunnar Solksjaer's Manchester United to their third league defeat of the season.

Istanbul Basaksehir vs Manchester United Prediction

Istanbul Basaksehir lie at the bottom of their UEFA Champions League group, having lost both their games so far. They will be the underdogs against the Red Devils, and much will rely on the form of French striker Enzo Crivelli and veteran winger Edin Visca.

Manchester United, on the other hand, have endured contrasting runs in the Premier League and the Champions League. They sit at the top of their group in the Champions League, having deservedly won against Paris Saint-Germain and RB Leipzig, with attacker Marcus Rashford impressing in particular.

Manchester United have not enjoyed a good start to their league campaign, but should have enough quality to ensure a victory over Istanbul Basaksehir.

Prediction: Istanbul Basaksehir 0-2 Manchester United
