United won their opening two games against Paris St Germain and RB Leipzig before losing 2-1 to the Turkish champions and Solskjaer said Tuesday’s return fixture at Old Trafford offered them the chance to respond and consolidate their position.
They currently lead Group H with six points but could potentially drop out of the top two if they lose again.
“We started well with two wins but we were disappointed with the last game against Istanbul. We need 10 points to go through but you may need 12 points,” Solskjaer told reporters.
“We’re going to go into this game to try and win it and to win it well with a good performance because we have games coming thick and fast. That defeat last time was a big blow".
