Manchester United suffers shocking defeat to Galatasaray amidst growing concerns
Posted : 04 October 2023
Manchester United suffered a disappointing 3-2 defeat against Galatasaray, marking the Turks' first-ever victory on English soil. This loss has added to the negative streak that Manchester United has been experiencing recently. Despite a somewhat plausible loss to Bayern Munich in the opening round, this defeat carries with it unprecedented figures and records that the club never imagined.
The Red Devils' home form has been concerning, with this being their seventh home defeat in the last 14 games, a stark contrast to the 96 games it previously took them to reach a similar number of defeats at Old Trafford. They have also conceded 18 goals in their first 10 games of the season, a feat not seen since the 1966/67 season, with only Sheffield United having conceded more in the Premier League.
Former Manchester United player Wilfred Zaha, who felt he never got a fair chance during his time at the club, managed to score against them for the first time. The English media has started to question Erik ten Hag's status as manager, particularly after this catastrophic collapse.
Rasmus Hoylund, the young striker who was signed for £85 million, had a standout performance, scoring two goals for Manchester United. Despite the loss, he was voted the man of the match by UEFA, and there is optimism about his potential in the future.
Erik ten Hag acknowledged that the team needs to defend better and expressed frustration at not being able to maintain their advantage in the match. The manager emphasized the importance of staying focused, staying united, and improving their defensive performance.
Overall, it was a disappointing night for Manchester United, marred by defensive lapses and questions about the team's direction under Erik ten Hag's management.
