Manchester United’s qualification hopes for the Champions League knockout phase now depend on other results, following a frustrating 3-3 draw with Galatasaray.
Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana had a forgettable trip to Turkey, as he made significant errors in the 3-3 draw with Galatasaray. Express Sport examines four key takeaways from the thrilling match in Istanbul.
Karem Akturkoglu then equalized for Galatasaray by scoring past Onana on his near post, with some criticizing the United goalkeeper for his positioning. Defeating Galatasaray was crucial for United, and they had accomplished the task, but Onana’s off day has proven costly.
Fernandes delivered a thunderous strike at a crucial moment in the match, silencing the home crowd. Despite Alejandro Garnacho’s opening goal for Galatasaray, the United captain displayed his true character by celebrating in front of the Galatasaray supporters.
The Turkish crowd continuously booed the Premier League team whenever they had possession of the ball. After scoring a goal, Garnacho taunted the supporters, which displeased Fernandes. Fernandes reprimanded Garnacho, and the rest of the United players apologized before leaving.
There are concerns about Ten Hag’s job security. United seemed to be back on form with a convincing 3-0 win against Everton over the weekend, which was a much-needed victory for Ten Hag. However, United appeared nervous and lacked creativity against Galatasaray in the second half when the Turkish team made a comeback.
