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

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. However, Kerem Akturkoglu drew level four minutes later to stun Old Trafford into silence.

A mistake from United goalkeeper Andre Onana forced Brazilian midfielder Casemiro to concede a penalty, which saw him sent off after receiving a second yellow card.

Mauro Icardi let United off the hook as he drilled his spot kick wide but the Argentine picked himself up and slotted home a fine winner nine minutes from time to send Galatasaray up to second in the group on four points and leave United pointless and rock bottom.

It was United's sixth defeat in 10 games this season and the Red Devils are in danger of an early exit from the Champions League.

Meanwhile, Arsenal slumped to a first defeat of the season as Lens came from behind to win 2-1 in France thanks to a fine second-half strike by Elye Wahi.
