Manchester United face Fenerbahçe on Thursday evening in the UEFA Europa League. There’s a lot of stories coming off as tangents to the match, not least Erik ten Hag’s future being under further question should the Red Devils lose in Turkey.
Fittingly, he’s coming up against Jose Mourinho, another manager who will feel he somewhat went through the mill at Manchester United. Ten Hag has already spoken about his admiration for the Portuguese coach, and the managerial match-up is certainly going to be a big talking point in the coming days.
That isn’t when the connections end.
Altay Bayındır had four years with Fenerbahçe before moving to Manchester United in the summer 2023 window.
Sofyan Amrabat, who was on loan from Fiorentina to the Red Devils last season, is now at Fener. As is Fred.
