Otelul Galati manager Dorinel Munteanu
They are the reigning Romanian champions after winning the Liga 1 for the very first time last season.
They will not be playing in their home stadium of Otelul as it does not meet Uefa standards. Instead their home matches in the Champions League will be held in the Romanian national stadium in the 120 miles away in the capital Bucharest.
Otelul Galati team details
Their nickname is the Steelworkers (Otelarii) as that is the main trade of Galati.
They are managed by Dorinel Munteanu who holds the record for the most caps for Romania - 134. The former midfielder scored in the 3-2 win against England in Euro 2000 - the game where Phil Neville's infamous trip gave away a last minute penalty which sent England out of the tournament.
They have lost five of their last 10 matches, including defeats to both other Group C opponents, Benfica and FC Basel, and currently sit ninth in their domestic league.
Otelul Galati v Manchester United preview
They have averaged just 34% possession in their two Champions League games so far.
In 1988 they made their Uefa Cup debut, beating Italian giants Juventus 1-0.
The chairman - Marius Stan - is a former Otelul Galati player, making 100 appearances for the club between 1986-89.
Creative midfielder Gabriel Paraschiv asked for a pay-cut because he didn't think his performances warranted his £5,000-a-week wage.
Last week, when United players were scattered far and wide on international duty, Otelul had all theirs still at the club, with not a single call-up.
