Football | Manchester United collapsed in the Champions League – Arsenal lost too

Manchester United’s horrendous defensive play tarnished the team’s 20-year-old Danish striker by Rasmus Höjlund have a great evening in the Champions League. United lost at home with 2-3 goals against Turkish side Galatasaray.

Höjlund put the English in the lead in the 17th minute of the game with a header Marcus Rashford to the goal of a small concentration. Wilfried Zaha however, they were allowed to equalize six minutes later.

After a Galatasaray defender slipped in the second period, Höjlund ran through alone and chipped the ball into the goal.
