Galatasaray ultras ban PHONES for Man Utd clash as they tell fans ‘go to war with the team’
GALATASARAY ultras have banned phones at their huge Champions League match against Manchester United on Wednesday night.
The Turkish giants host Erik ten Hag’s side knowing a win would be a huge step towards reaching the last 16.
Victory would also eliminate Man Utd and make it a straight shoot-out between themselves and Copenhagen for second spot in the group behind Bayern Munich.
Galatasaray beat the Red Devils 3-2 at Old Trafford last month, coming from 1-0 and 2-1 down to claim a superb win.
And the ultras, who famously provide an intimidating atmosphere, have told fans not to bring phones to Rams Park.
They also sent supporters a candid message ahead of the crunch clash.
A one-sentence statement read: “90 minutes of aggressive support. Go to war with the team!”
There is set to be extreme weather at the match, with the Uefa Youth League match between Galatasaray and Man Utd played on a waterlogged pitch earlier in the afternoon.
Ten Hag‘s men come into the clash off the back of three Premier League wins in a row.
But they have lost three of four Champions League matches – including two of the last three.

Last time out they spurned leads of 2-0 and 3-2 as Copenhagen beat them 4-3 in Denmark.
Meanwhile, Galatasaray have won three of their last four league matches.
They also pushed Bayern all the way in their previous Champions League game.
Galatasaray kept the Bundesliga champions out until the 80th minute when Harry Kane popped up with a late double to hand the Germans a 2-1 win at the Allianz Arena.
