Galatasaray assistant coach Gomez fires warning at Man Utd

Galatasaray assistant coach Ismael Garcia Gomez believes they can cause damage against Manchester United on Wednesday.

The Turkish giants are set to create a lively atmosphere at home in the Champions League group stage game.

With United needing a win to stay alive, Gomez hopes that Gala can take advantage of any early nerves.

"We saw that Manchester United have good ideas, but they are struggling sometimes when they are facing a team with that high intensity in the pressing," Garcia told ESPN.

"In the games we saw, they had difficulties. Especially in the first half when things aren't going well, we could tell even by video that the players were getting a bit nervous because it's not simple. It's what I saw at Old Trafford too.

"The stadium and the fans were fantastic, but you can feel in the environment that things are not going well and sometimes this can block the players. The players that they have are high quality, but when there is a block, it's difficult."
