Andre Onana had another night to forget as Manchester United’s season went from bad to worse with a 3-2 defeat at home to Galatasaray.
Having lost their Champions League opener at Bayern Munich and slipped to a fourth defeat in seven Premier League matches on Saturday, the Red Devils reached a new low at Old Trafford on Tuesday night.
After United had twice led through Rasmus Hojlund, they threw the game away – with Onana a big reason for their collapse with a costly error and another questionable piece of play.
After trying to play out from the back with the game finely poised at 2-2, the ex-Inter Milan star’s pass was easily cut out by Dries Mertens, who raced into the United box.
Casemiro came sliding in from behind and was sent off as a result, giving away a penalty.
While Mauro Icardi dragged his penalty wide, he took advantage of the additional space against the ten-men minutes to later to net the winner – with Onana again not covering himself in glory.
When a cleared header from Davinson Sanchez inexplicably found its way to Icardi in acres of space, the former Paris Saint-Germain star found himself one-on-one with the United No. 1.
The striker attempted a chip but it barely lifted off the ground, though it was still enough to beat Onana, who was already nearly seated as the Turkish side claimed an unlikely 3-2 win.
While United huffed and puffed, they could not get back in the game and they suffered yet another defeat in the Champions League.
It has left them with no points in Group A after two matches, having lost to Bayern Munich in their opener, where Onana was also fault.
