Even before several of their players were injured and underperforming, Manchester United's previous performance cannot be compared to that of Bayern Munich, and they are far superior to them and will finish ahead of them in the group stage. Manchester United still has a chance to finish second in the group because they have four more matches to play, but I doubt they can beat Bayern Munich in their second leg clash. If they lose or draw a point with Bayern Munich, they will be disqualified from finishing first, and Bayern Munich will almost certainly win their remaining four matches.
I think MU's chances of finishing in second place in the group will be very difficult, because Manchester United's performance itself is unstable or inconsistent. I prefer Galatasaray, in the domestic league they are quite impressive with the 8 matches they have played, the 7 wins they have achieved and so far they have never lost. On the 24th Galatasaray will play against Bayern Munich with full support from the crowd, I am sure Galatasaray will get points at home to maintain the points position in the group
I also think so it seems it will be difficult for Manchester United to be able to secure second place. The reason is that we know that currently the Red Devils have not won a single point and their chances will be increasingly slim in the next match. I feel Manchester United will miss the opportunity to qualify for the top 16 and they will at least finish in 3rd place and play in the European league with Liverpool. That is a possibility that I think could happen and regardless of whatever they try with the current situation, of course it is quite impossible. Galatassaray is a pretty definite candidate after Manchester United's failure in the last few matches and I think with decent squad depth they can maintain their current position in Group A.
Europa League Competition is a toxic Competition to me, ( LoL ). If Manchester United can't go ahead to win all foir fixtures remaining in the Champions League group stage, then thry shouldn't think of getting qualified for the round of sixteen. Not the Europa League Competition likewise, that's a tougher Competition to play and they've had failures in that Competition massively.
I won't want them back in that Competition, rather, they should finish at the bottom of the group stage and return to the Premier League backing chasing for qualifications in the Premier League table once again.
Whenever you decide to expect too much from Manchester United, you'll get break down and broken.
