Manchester United vs Galatasaray ends with six goal thriller in UCL 2023/24 group stage

The UEFA Champions League (UCL) matchday 5 has just ended. Manchester United is still in the bottom of the table after their draw against Galatasaray. They again gave away a 3-1 lead leaving a 3-3 draw in the end. The Red Devils were welcomed in grand fashion by the home fans of the Turkish club, who made a TIFO that read 'Welcome to Hell.' Erik ten Hag's side is struggling with its form in the current season as they are placed 6th in the English Premier League table with 24 points. 

But in the UCL they have won only one match, losing three and tying one game they sit at the bottom of the table of Group A which also Bayern Munich, FC Copenhagen, Galatasaray S.K. With the tie, they have slim chances of qualifying for the next round and might not get in the Europa League as well. 

United goalkeeper Andre Onana's horrifying season continues as the first two goals which should have been saved by the keeper with the quality he possesses. The second goal was a howler while punching a low ball he ended up putting it into the goal. 

United disappoints again 

The Red Devils started the game well with Alejandro Garnacho giving the visitors the lead in the 11th minute of the game. The Argentine winger finished off with his left foot and did a 'calma-calma' celebration of his idol Cristiano Ronaldo. Then United's captain Bruno Fernandes doubled the lead with a long-range shot. After that, a freekick by Hakim Ziyech ended up in the goal.

Man U went back into the dressing room with the slender lead. 

During the second half, they started off well with Scott McTominay giving them a two-goal lead. But, soon after Turkish champions pulled one back with the mistake of Onana, while punching the ball mistimed and it ended in the goal. Muhammed Kerem Akturkoglu equalised for Galatasaray in the 71st minute. Man U had the best chance when Fernandes's shot in the 85th minute struck the post.
