Manchester United are on the brink of elimination from the Champions League after twice blowing a two-goal lead to draw 3-3 at Galatasaray on Wednesday.
Alejandro Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes and Scott McTominay scored for United in a breathless game, but Erik ten Hag’s team remain bottom of Group A and needing to beat Bayern Munich in their final match at Old Trafford to have any chance of qualifying.
Even victory over the German champions will not be enough if Galatasaray beat FC Copenhagen in two weeks’ time or the Danish champions take at least four points from their final two matches.
United have won just one of their five Champions League games this season and will reflect on another tale of missed opportunities and costly errors from goalkeeper Andre Onana.
Andy Mitten was in Istanbul to attend the match. You can check out his reaction to the match in the video above and his United player ratings in the gallery below.
MANCHESTER UNITED PLAYER RATINGS: Slippy conditions for a goalkeeper, he dived to save after three minutes. Two poor balls out in the first five minutes saw United lose possession. Advanced and played balls forward from close to the halfway line. Poor positioning for the first goal. Even worse for the second. Saved well on 66 and again on 83, but the damage was done. EPA
A challenge for him against Zaha and Galatasaray doubling up. Perfect low cross for McTominay for United’s third after moving forwards into a free space. Reuters

Another decent performance, despite his side conceding three. Big block on a Zaha shot after 35. Anticipated well. AFP
Important early block from a Ziyech shot. Controlled, fouled, got forward until the end, played first-time balls forward. AFP

Involved in the opening goal, before the home crowd screamed that he’d handled the ball on 13. Headed over on 37. Slid forwards to meet Wan Bissaka’s cross for United’s third. Shot wide on 76 and looked appalled with himself. Shot over on 87. AFP
Quick feet, quick passes. A star in the third goal, beating two players by the line, moving inside and teeing up Wan Bissaka to cross. Lively when he got the ball after. One of his best games. AFP
Helped work the opening goal, then finished the second, a looping shot with his right foot on 18 which flew over Muslera. Oh, how he enjoyed that moment. Chased, cursed. Gave away the free kick which led to a goal, but had chased 60 yards for it. Struck the post on 84. EPA
That left foot of his has had some week. Smashed United ahead after 11 minutes. Improving in his defensive game too. Badly fouled by Boey. Shot wide on 75 after setting himself up. AP
Surprisingly – for him in this competition – out of the goals, though he centred a fine ball on 26. Grafted. Reuters
SUBS: (Hojlund 58’) Did little. AP
(Amrabat 58′) Great challenge for him in such a febrile atmosphere. PA
(Wan Bissaka 78’) Added attacking impetus. Reuters
(Garnacho 78’) Chased down a chance on 78, wasted a chance shooting miles over on 79. Lost possession a minute after, too. Shot over yet again on 81. You have to take those chances. AFP
