What Man Utd hierarchy think about Erik ten Hag after catastrophic Galatasaray defeat

United took the lead through Rasmus Hojlund, with Wilfried Zaha then equalising for Galatasaray on his return to Old Trafford.

Hojlund struck again in the 67th minute, having seen another effort cancelled out for offside, with Muhammed Kerem Akturkoglu proceeding to level just four minutes later.

Casemiro gave away a penalty following a dismal mistake from Andre Onana, with Mauro Icardi spurning the chance to put the Turkish giants ahead.

But the Argentina international did eventually score his goal to boost their chances of making the knockout stages of the competition.

Ten Hag has credit in the bank at United after guiding the club to third in the Premier League table last season.

They also won the Carabao Cup, the first piece of silverware since Jose Mourinho's time in Manchester.

And Ten Hag believes he still has the support of the United hierarchy, saying: "Last season went brilliant, terrific more than we could expect.

"But also in this project we knew there would be gaps.

"And in this period we are in a very difficult period but we come out together, fight together, stick together and that is me the directors, the team, altogether we will fight.

"This is not us we know we will do better."

Onana has failed to live up to the hype at United ever since touching down from Inter Milan back in the summer.

Big things were expected of the Cameroon international, who arrived as a replacement for club icon David De Gea.

But Onana has now made an error for the second Champions League game in a row, having toiled against Bayern Munich last time out.

He's also conceded 18 goals in just 10 matches so far.

And some United fans are lobbying for Turkish goalkeeper Altay Bayindir, who arrived from Fenerbahce, to be given a chance.

Ten Hag, however, has now defended Onana and insists the goalkeeper will eventually come good.

"We are happy with our goalkeeping group," the 53-year-old added in his post-match press conference.

"Andre was in one semi final in the Champions League, last season he was in final of the Champions League so he has capabilities to be one of the best goalkeepers in the world and he has shown that.

"We have already seen in games his great capabilities also his personality, he will bounce back."

In the other Champions League match of the group, Bayern Munich survived a scare to battle their way past Copenhagen.

Lukas Lerager had the Danish side dreaming of an upset when he opened the scoring in the 55th minute.

Bayern were able to peg them back 12 minutes later through the talented Jamal Musiala.
