Manchester United supporters have voted for the man of the match in the dramatic 3-3 draw with Galatasaray.

If you were a neutral, then last night’s game with Galatasaray was very entertaining. But from a Manchester United perspective, the overriding emotion is one of frustration and annoyance.

United played well. This team has spark, some good players, scoring a seventh, eighth, and ninth goal in three Champions League games away from home.

The problem was the defending, giving away cheap goals, and United had to settle for a 3-3 draw.

Bruno Fernandes deserved award

Bruno Fernandes was fully deserving of the vote, although it will mean nothing to him without the victory.

Fernandes provided the assist for the first goal, before scoring a stunning second goal. He came agonisingly close to winning the game late, with a long rate effort which hit the post.

He told TNT Sports after the game: “Every time we conceded a goal we had many chances to score again. At the end of the game we had four chances.

“We have to lift our heads up and try to get the best players in the best positions and not take chances ourselves. We need to put the team first. It was mistakes by ourselves on the goals we conceded.

“I don’t want to be too negative. But what we have been doing in the Champions League is not enough. It is not the first game we’ve had like this. We have to secure the result.

“We have to understand in these types of games and stages we have to be smart enough and manage the game better. Everyone has to step up and take responsibility of their own mistakes. Now we don’t depend on ourselves but it is what it is.”
