As time goes by, the consequences of erasing one of the best in the world appear.

Day number two of the group stage of the UEFA Champions League in this 2023/2024 edition began with some surprises in the results, mainly what was the defeat of Manchester United at home at the hands of Galatasaray of Turkey, where they turned the score around.

In the 17th minute of the first half of the match, Danish striker Rasmus Højlund was in charge of opening the scoring for the Red Devils. After a pass behind the rival defense, Marcus Rashford headed towards the rival area through the right sector, and once inside the Galatasaray area, he crossed the ball so that Højlund entered the second sector and scored with a header.

Quickly, just six minutes later, Wilfried Zaha appeared, taking advantage of a shot sent by the Colombian Davinson Sánchez from his own half of the field, and then being able to define the rival's area. Later, in the second half of the match, Rasmus Højlund would appear again to put Manchester United ahead in the match again.

Finally, with goals from the Turkish Kerem Aktürkoğlu and the Argentine Mauro Icardi, the Turkish team surprised at Old Trafford and beat Erik ten Hag's team three goals to two. Precisely, the coach who ignored Cristiano Ronaldo and became the key to his departure from the English team is the one who is in the eye of the hurricane.

The one targeted by criticism

The Dutch coach is going from bad to worse and he does not have the fans of the red team in Manchester happy at all. Two defeats in the first rounds of the Champions League, and a poor performance by the team in the Premier League, have upset the fans and the person most likely to be responsible for the catastrophe is Erik Ten Hag.
