Manchester United conceded from a long ball, a throw-in and a defensive header. In a Champions League game. At home. While relying on a 20-year-old to rescue them in between, two months after joining.It demands a special kind of incompetence to not only overshadow a £64m signing’s first two home goals, but to almost completely erase it from the narrative memory.
Bruno Fernandes was dreadful, kicking things off with a rabona attempt that barely raised off the ground in the opening minutes when five teammates were waiting for a cross to attack, and barely improving from there. Casemiro continued his strange late-career rebrand as an elite creator with absolutely no defensive awareness.
Within 10 minutes, Galatasaray equalised, missed a penalty and scored the winner. Kerem Akturkoglu scored from a move which started as a throw-in within the visitors’ half; Mauro Icardi put his spot-kick wide after Onana’s hospital pass helped Casemiro wheel himself away with a red card after crashing into Dries Mertens; Icardi made up for it with a delightful finish after being played through by *checks notes* a headed clearance by Davinson Sanchez.
