Manchester United in danger of early Champions League exit after Galatasaray defeat

thenationalnews.com

Manchester United endured more misery as they slumped to a 3-2 defeat to Galatasaray at Old Trafford on Tuesday to leave them bottom of Champions League Group A.

United were hoping to recover from a fourth Premier League defeat of the season against Crystal Palace on Saturday and made a good start in the Manchester rain on Tuesday, racing into a 17th-minute lead through Denmark striker Rasmus Hojlund.

Their advantage lasted less than six minutes as Wilfried Zaha, playing against his former club, scooped home the equaliser after poor defending from the hosts, which has become a regular feature.

After the break, Hojlund capitalised on a mistake from Galatasaray defender Davinson Sanchez to put United back in front in the 67th minute.
