Erik ten Hag says Manchester United 'have to learn' from Galatasaray draw

Erik ten Hag says Manchester United are conceding too many goals but refused to blame Andre Onana despite the goalkeeper’s errors at Galatasaray severely damaging their chances of Champions League progression.

Having lost three of four Group A games, Wednesday’s key clash in Istanbul began in dream fashion as Alejandro Garnacho’s early effort was followed up by a Bruno Fernandes rocket.

Hakim Ziyech pulled one back from a free-kick that Onana will be disappointed to have been beaten by and he was guilty of an even worse error after Scott McTominay scored United’s third.

The summer signing somehow failed to deal with another Ziyech free-kick and substitute Kerem Akturkoglu soon lasered past him as a mad match ended 3-3.

The result leaves United bottom of their pool heading into the final round of fixtures, with the concession of 14 goals in just five Group A games the key issue.

"It’s about the point when you are leading, when you are 2-0 up and you have to manage the game. Not so easy.

"We give free-kicks away and we have to defend them better twice. I have to say also that is Hakim. He is brilliant, I know that. He is extraordinary.

"To give free-kicks, it’s difficult to defend as well. In such areas, we have to be in more control.

"As a team, we have to learn from it because we are conceding too many goals and it is unnecessary and avoidable.

"I am sure our team is experienced enough and capable enough to manage this and we will do better.

"What is enjoyable is the progress we have and the way we play football. We dictated the game, we scored so many goals – it was
