Andre Onana could not hide his emotions at full-time after a frustrating night in Turkey.

When Andre Onana made his error away at Bayern Munich, Manchester United were already facing an uphill battle.

His errors away at Galatasaray were different. Manchester United had already done the hard work.

Standing near the top of the hill, Onana pulled United back to the bottom again, conceding two soft free-kicks, with Manchester United relinquishing a comfortable advantage to draw 3-3.

A draw kept United alive in the competition, just. But Andre Onana is once again under heavy criticism.

What Andre Onana did at full-time

Andre Onana looked fully aware that the errors had cost the team. Manchester United have now conceded 14 goals in five Champions League matches.

At full-time, Onana took off his goalkeeper gloves and threw them to the ground in frustration.

He then put his head in his hands, before clapping angrily.

Onana then then pulled his shirt up to partly cover his face, before angrily shaking his head.

He also spent time speaking to Galatasaray goalkeeper Fernando Muslera at the final whistle (above).

Ten Hag says Manchester United lose as a team

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag refused to blame his goalkeeper for the mistakes.

You can, of course, point to the fact United should not have given away the cheap free-kicks in the first place. Rasmus Hojlund appear to jump over the first shot, instead of blocking it in the wall.

But both of them, particularly the second, you expect a Champions League standard goalkeeper to save.

Ten Hag told club media: “I think every goal has its own story. The first is a transition moment, when you speak about quick release, we don’t block the middle.

“The second is a free-kick, an unnecessary free-kick, but then we have to defend the free-kick better and then the third one, we are very good and organised but we got run off and we are in an overload area.

“So it can never happen, these mistakes can’t be. In the Champions League, you get punished for it, so you have to learn from it.”
