Shocking, Manchester United loses at home against Galatasaray

Manchester United is not heading in the right direction in the UEFA Champions League. The Old Trafford team suffered a significant defeat after going 2-1 up on the scoreboard with a double from their new striker, Rasmus Hojlund. Despite this, the team was unable to maintain its advantage and ended up losing to Galatasaray with Mauro Icardi scoring in the final minutes of the match. Ten Hag's team does not have a single point after its first two days.

For Galatasaray, this result is historic since they had never won at Old Trafford and for Mauro Icardi it is the first goal with the Turkish team in the Champions League. With this defeat, Manchester United is last in the group, without points since it had also lost in Germany against Bayern Munich.

Without dominating a match with little continuity in the game, the 'red devils' opened the scoring on the counterattack. Rashford received a long ball with room to run and crossed into the heart of the area for Hojlund's accurate header. With confidence and freedom to move along the attacking front, the Dane almost scored the second on a filtered pass that intercepted Muslera's quick exit. However, his second goal of the game ended up coming in the second half. However, it didn't end up being of much use.

Can Manchester United still qualify for the round of 16?

Despite the team's defeat on the second round of this UEFA Champions League, the qualification options are still present. However, they must win their remaining matches to be able to depend on themselves to secure their ticket to the next phase. In the most favorable scenario, a match against a team like Galatasaray, United collapsed. Akturkoglu, alone on the penalty spot, conceded the tie after a false clearance by Onana, but there was no second concession. In the end, Icardi settled everything.
