Highlights after the match Man Utd 2-3 Galatasaray
The match Man Utd vs Galatasaray ended with a score of 3-2 in favor of the away team. Let’s look back at the highlights after this match ended.
Wilfried Zaha continues to score against Man Utd
After parting ways with Crystal Palace on a free transfer, Wilfried Zaha signed a contract with Galatasaray. He has played very well since coming to Türkiye. The player born in 1992 played very well on his return to Old Trafford. Zaha was the one who equalized the score 1-1 for Galatasaray. In the 23rd minute, Sanchez flicked the ball from his own half into the penalty area. Zaha beаt Diogo Dalot before finishing the ball and hitting the ground, causing goalkeeper Onana to lose his hand.
Zaha scored against Man Utd
After not scoring in the first 11 matches against Man Utd, Wilfried Zaha has scored 4 goals in the last 5 matches against the Red Devils. After scoring, Zaha celebrated wildly. Talking about the goal against Red Man, the 31-year-old player said:
“It’s truly a dream come true. I’m happy to play in this tournament and score a goal. This is a great night for me. People will definitely talk about me celebrating when I scored against Man Utd, but it was my first match in the Champions League, I really explоded with emotions at that time.”
Andre Onana made a mistake again
In the 3-4 loss to Bayern Munich, Andre Onana made an unforgivable mistake at Leroy Sane’s goal. In the match against Galatasaray, he continued to play poorly. In Zaha’s 1-1 equalizer, Onana was unable to stop it. According to experts, Cameroonian players can do better in this situation. In the 76th minute, Onana received a pass from teammate Victor Lindelof. Man Utd’s £47 million contract made a mistake when he passed the ball straight to Mertens’ feet.
Onana is disappointed with her mistake
Casemiro was then forced to commit a foul to prevent the opponent from scoring. He had to receive the second yellow card and at the same time caused Man Utd to receive 11m. Fortunately for Man Utd, on the 11m mark, Icardi sent the ball wide of the post. However, 4 minutes later, Icardi pressed the ball over Onana’s head to set the score 3-2 for Galatasaray.
Coach Erik ten Hag spoke up to defend Onana, but that cannot hide the fact that the former Inter Milan star is not worth the £47 million that Man Utd spent.
Erik ten Hag faces the possibility of being fired
Last weekend, Man Utd lost 0-1 at home to Crystal Palace in the Premier League. Before that, they lost 1-3 to Brighton also at Old Trafford. And most recently, Red Man continued to lose at home, this time in the Champions League group stage. Even though they took the lead twice, Man Utd still had to lose 2-3 in the end. This is the first time in the history of participating in C1 that Man Utd had to admit defeat in the first two matches of the group stage.
Erik ten Hag is facing great pressure at Man Utd
Man Utd has lost 7 of the last 14 UEFA Champions League matches at Old Trafford, as many as the previous 96 matches. This is the 6th defeat in just the first 10 matches this season for Ten Hag teachers and students. In addition, Man Utd has conceded 18 goals after 10 matches in all competitions this season, the most after the first 10 matches since the 1966/67 season (20). Sheffield United (19) are the only team in the Premier League to concede more goals than them this season.
According to Metro, if Man Utd does not win against Brentford at home this weekend, coach Erik ten Hag may be fired when the national teams gather in October. Confidence in fans is very low. The match against Brentford in round 8 of the Premier League will be the last chance for the Dutch coach to save his seat.
Highlight Rasmus Hojlund
Rasmus Hojlund was the best player on Man Utd’s side in the match against Galatasaray. He opened the scoring for the Red Devils in the 17th minute. From a quick play, Marcus Rashford crossed comfortably for Hojlund to score an accurate shot. This is the second time Rashford and Hojlund have combined to create a goal, after scoring in the match against Bayern Munich.
Hojlund scored twice against Galatasaray
At minute 67, midfielder Sanchez slipped in the midfield, creating an opportunity for Hojlund to get the ball. Number 11 dribbled the ball straight to the away team’s goal and then coolly beаt goalkeeper Muslera to increase the score to 2-1, completing the double.
Rasmus Hojlund (20 years, 241 days) is the youngest player to score in his first two appearances in the UEFA Champions League since Erling Haaland in 2019 (19 years, 73 days). However, his 2 goals could not help Man Utd get points against Galatasaray.
Galatasaray continued its impressive series
Galatasaray is in extremely high form, they are unbeaten in all competitions this season. In the highest tournament of Turkish football (Suρer Lig), Wilfried Zaha and his teammates had 6 wins and 1 draw, thereby leading the rankings with 19 points. Okan Buruk’s team is unbeaten in the last 20 matches, including 14 wins. They confidently won points at Old Trafford, and the Turkish representative did what they needed.
Galatasaray defeated Man Utd 3-2
Goals from Wilfried Zaha, Kerem Akturkoglu and Mauro Icardi helped the away team defeat 3-2 at Old Trafford. The 3 points brought Galatasaray’s unbeaten streak to 21, with 4 points after 2 matches in Group A, now the opportunity for TNK’s team to pass the group stage is completely possible.
