Manchester United travelled away to Galatasaray hoping to extend their stay in the Champions League this season by securing a vital win.

But things didn't work out for the Reds, who grew their lead to 2-0 within 18 minutes through brilliant efforts from Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes, before capitulating to a 3-3 draw.

With the players returning home from an atmospheric night in Istanbul with just a point, they will no doubt be gutted that they weren’t able to convert their chances into a win, scoring three goals but once again failing to secure victory on the road in the Champions League. United twice held a two-goal lead against Galatasaray, but two errors by Andre Onana seem to have cost Erik ten Hag’s side progression in Europe.
