Manchester United can put their poor Premier League form behind them tonight (Wed), when they return to Champions League action.
They’ll look to follow City and Liverpool by maintaining their 100 percent European record as they play Istanbul Basaksehir in Turkey at 5 to 6.
In Group E, Chelsea welcome Rennes to Stamford Bridge in the 8pm kickoffs.
