Tonight's Champions League meeting between Galatasaray and Manchester United is currently not under threat of postponement, despite heavy downpours in Istanbul.
United are due to take on their Turkish opponents at Rams Park this afternoon (5.45pm). They have named a 22-man squad minus the suspended Marcus Rashford.
After constant rain in the city, wet weather pictures have been circulating on social media, while the preceding UEFA Youth League meeting between the two clubs at the Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Stadium saw players encounter challenging conditions and standing water on the playing surface.

As the clock ticks down to the senior Champions League game there is no suggestion the fixture is under any immediate doubt but officials have been seen looking at the pitch. Galatasaray were 3-2 winners at Old Trafford in the corresponding Group A fixture between the teams and United have work to do if they are to progress in the Champions League this season. They will be eliminated with a defeat at Rams Park, while a draw vs Galatasaray will prompt a complicated scenario.
Despite the weather the next generation completed the Youth League match and United were defeated 1-0 to leave their progression hopes in doubt. Baran Demiroglu scored winner for Galatasaray.
It was a result that leaves Travis Binnion's side bottom in Group A with four points taken from five matches. They can still qualify on the final matchday if they beat Bayern Munich and Galatasaray either draw or suffer a defeat against group leaders FC Copenhagen.
