Galatasaray vs Man Utd LIVE: Champions League result and reaction as thrilling clash ends in draw

Galatasaray 3-3 Man Utd: Andre Onana’s howler saw United throw away a 3-1 lead in a must-win game

'The goal of the season' - Man United coach praises Garnacho's third minute bicycle

Manchester United’s Champions League hopes are hanging by a thread after Erik ten Hag’s men imploded in a chaotic, thrill-a-minute 3-3 draw on an ear-splitting night at Galatasaray.

Having lost three of their four Group A fixtures, the Red Devils knew defeat in Istanbul would extinguish their hopes of reaching the knockout phase with a game to spare.

United avoided a loss but blew a two-goal lead on in an incredible night in Istanbul, meaning their knockout hopes will be over if Copenhagen beat Bayern Munich in Wednesday’s late fixtures.

This was a wild, helter-skelter encounter befitting of a Champions League campaign punctuated by goals, madness and mistakes.
