Manchester United gave up a two-goal lead in a thrilling 3-3 draw at Galatasaray on Wednesday that keeps alive their slim hopes of reaching the Champions League last 16.
United’s Alejandro Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes and Scott McTominay scored in a breathless game, but the single point kept Erik ten Hag’s team bottom of Group A on four points after five matches.

United’s hopes of advancing depend on Wednesday’s late game between Bayern Munich (12 points) and Copenhagen (four points) ahead of their final match against the German group winners on Dec. 12.
United roared into an early 2-0 lead through Garnacho and Fernandes before Hakim Ziyech pulled one back from a free kick following an error by the English team’s goalkeeper Andre Onana.
