Manchester United squandered a two-goal lead to eventually draw 3-3 with Galatasaray in their penultimate Champions League group-stage clash.

The Red Devils’ fate is now out of their hands; all they can do is try and oversee a win against Bayern Munich, who currently boast a 38-game unbeaten streak in this stage of the competition, on December 12.

Tonight, United became the first English team to concede 14 goals in just five games in a Champions League campaign, while Andre Onana is now the goalkeeper with the most errors leading to goal (seven) in the competition since the 2018/2019 season.

He conceded two goals from free-kicks courtesy of Hakim Ziyech’s wicked striking ability – something that Erik ten Hag knows all too well – and the second was nothing short of a howler from the Cameroonian.

United’s away strength leaves a lot to be desired

Ten Hag’s side have netted nine times away from home in the five matches played and taken just one point.

A third-placed finish would see them drop to the Europa League.
