Manchester United’s horrible start to the new season continued with a 3-2 home defeat to Galatasaray in a champions League encounter on Tuesday night.
The hosts are now bottom of Champions League Group A after the loss in the game that saw Casemiro being sent off and even giving away a penalty in the process. Although the Turkish side missed the spot kick, they went on to score the winner to leave the Manchester side empty handed after two games in the elite competition.
Looking to put a fourth Premier League defeat of the season against Crystal Palace on Saturday to the back up their minds, United flew out of the traps in the Manchester rain, racing into a 17th-minute lead through Denmark striker Rasmus Højlund.

After the break, Højlund brilliantly capitalised on a slip from Galatasaray defender Davinson Sanchez to clip United back in front in the 67th minute, only for Kerem Akturkoglu to level four minutes later and stun Old Trafford into silence.
A mistake from United goalkeeper Andre Onana forced Brazilian midfielder Casemiro to conceded a penalty, which saw him sent off after receiving a second yellow card.
