Man Utd boss Ferguson wary of Galatasaray's ex-Premier League stars

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is wary of Champions League opponents Galatasaray.

Ferguson is well aware of several of Gala's major players.

Sir Alex said: "We've watched a lot of video analysis of them. I think there are several points about them... they have two players we know about in [former Arsenal midfielder] Emmanuel Eboue and [ex-Bolton striker] Johan Elmander who played in English football. They have two good central midfielders in Felipe Melo and Selcuk Inan and a centre-forward to look out for in Umut Bulut. [It's a bit like 'bullet' and] that's a good name for a centre-forward!

"I know from experience it's never easy against Turkish teams. It will be a very close game tomorrow."
