Last night in Istanbul, Manchester United’s Champions League aspirations were dangling by a thread due to Andre Onana’s gaffes.

United once again let a lead slip away as Galatasaray rallied from behind to earn a 3-3 draw at the Rams Stadium, thanks in large part to Onana’s failure to save two free kicks from Hakim Ziyech.

According to manager Erik ten Hag, “We win and lose together,” an attempt to absolve the Cameroonian goalie of any responsibility. Onana is doing fine. People are irrelevant. In football, every mistake counts and you own up to them, but in the end, the team wins.

Each and every one of these players is so talented that they have earned a spot on Manchester United’s roster.

We couldn’t be happier with our keeper crew. Their performances are top-notch. Pushing each other is essential.

The game management on Ten Hag’s team, meanwhile, left him fuming once again. Despite United’s best efforts, they have managed to salvage just a single point from their three matches against Galatasaray and FC Copenhagen.

We play so well that I feel compelled to both praise and criticize the team,’ Ten Hag continued. We need to step up our defense. There is a difference because we are ahead 3-1. We ought to have won the game, and I am disappointed about that.

Mistakes in the Champions League have serious consequences, therefore we need to take note of this. This is my fault, but I’m aware that we’re working on a project and that we’re progressing and improving.

We both scored in short succession. At around the two-goal mark, you’ll need to start controlling the game. We need to be better defenders because we let in too many free kicks.

We can always improve, but it’s always about small things. We need to improve our defense because we’re giving up way too many goals. We have the necessary expertise and experience on our team to handle this situation better.

Even United captain Bruno Fernandes, who scored a stunning second goal, blasted his team for not finishing the game.

“We let in goals that are really poor,” Fernandes stated. We should have scored more goals and sealed the game earlier, but we just aren’t clinical enough.

We need to be in charge of our games. This is not the first game of its kind that we have. We had a 3-2 lead in Copenhagen as well; improved game management and intelligence are necessities. The time has come for everyone to own up to their mistakes.
