"Single handedly kicked us out of the Champions League" - Manchester United fans fume at star's performance in 3-3 draw to Galatasaray
Manchester United fans on X (formerly Twitter) have slammed Andre Onana after he made three significant errors against Galatasaray on Wednesday, November 29. The Red Devils were held to a 3-3 draw in their UEFA Champions League clash against the Turkish outfit at the RAMS Park.
Erik ten Hag and Co. got off to the perfect start to silence the deafening, hostile home crowd. Alejandro Garnarcho smashed the ball into the roof of the net in the 11th minute. Bruno Fernandes then doubled their lead seven minutes later with a stunning long-range curler into the top-left corner.
Galatasaray got themselves back into the game in the 29th minute. Hakim Ziyech's free-kick got past the United wall, leaving Onana stranded. The Manchester United shot-stopper should have made arguably a routine save but was left a spectator.
Manchester United regained the two-goal advantage in the 55th minute via Scott McTominay's strike. However, Onana made another massive blunder seven minutes later, spilling Ziyech's free-kick into the back of the net.
Muhammed Akturkoglu brilliantly leveled the scores with a stunning finish in the 71st minute, taking full advantage of Onana being caught out of position. Both sides threatened to find a winner in the dying moments of the game, but it ended in a thrilling 3-3 draw.
Manchester United fans blasted Andre Onana for his costly errors. He was given a rating of just 4.4 (as per FotMob) as a result of his poor performance. To make matters worse, the 27-year-old also made high-profile errors earlier in the campaign against Bayern Munich and Galatasaray.
