Obviously Copenhagen has 1 point while Manchester United has 0 points and this means Copenhagen's position at the moment is better than that of Manchester United. But Manchester United still has both games to go against Copenhagen, which means with the next two games they can turn this around and at least secure the third rank in the table for the time being. But Copenhagen isn't Manchester United's biggest problem. The real problem is Galatasaray because they are stronger than Manchester United has anticipated. They clearly underestimated the Turkish team. Their defense is pure stability as can be seen in the Turkish league and their attack is good enough to overcome the defense of the Red Devils. Assuming that they win both of their games against Copenhagen, the problem with Galatasaray is still unsolved. The real showdown will take place in Turkey.

If Manchester United is able to overcome Copenhagen in two matches, it will not be enough to get them into the last 16 because they have only collected six points. United other two matches will still be against Galatasaray and Bayern Munchen, after seeing the previous failures that United received from these two clubs, it is difficult to say that Ten Hag squad can turn things around. Even though the opportunity to qualify from the group phase is still open for United, I think it is very small, because they have to depend on the defeat of the other three clubs.

Perhaps the most realistic thing for United is to finish in third place and continue their journey in the Europa League, however, all possibilities can still happen in these four matches, who knows, United can go further by achieving positive results after many doubted them.

Yes but the next two games are both against Bayern Munich for Galatasaray and if Manchester United is able to win both games against Copenhagen while Galatasaray loses both games against Bayern Munich, the group would be extremely close. It is still not over yet although Galatasaray has it in their own hands. If they can tie one of those games against Bayern Munich, I think it's almost impossible for Manchester United to recover from their situation. I think in this group we will have a final showdown on the last game day for certain. A little bit of hope is still left because Galatasaray did not win their home game against Copenhagen. That could be a small detail that might be against Galatasaray eventually.
