United have already secured their place in the knockout stages of the competition and with qualification already guaranteed Ferguson has taken the opportunity to rest some senior members of his squad.
Instead, the Scot has brought a young squad to Turkey with seven of the 21-man panel yet to play in the Champions League.
Nick Powell, Larnell Cole, Davide Petrucci and Ryan Tunnicliffe, striker Joshua King and defender Marnick Vermijl could all make their Champions League debut on Tuesday, while midfielder Tom Thorpe and goalkeeper Sam Johnstone could have their first senior start for the club.
Despite Wayne Rooney and David De Gea training with the squad on Monday, Ferguson has left them behind along with Rio Ferdinand, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Robin van Persie as he looks to the weekend’s clash with QPR at Old Trafford.
