SOLSKJAER’S REACTION
Speaking after his side’s disappointing 2-1 loss to Turkish side Basaksehir, he said: “The performance wasn’t good enough against a team that worked and ran and hit us on the break.
“They scored two goals that teams do when you don’t defend well. We played a short corner and forgot about the man up front and that’s unforgivable. Two soft goals.
“And then we didn’t have enough to come back in the second half. We threw everything at it but couldn’t break them down.”
TABLE CHECK
Man United sit top and PSG in second, the Parisians are currently beating RB Leipzig 1-0 thanks to a goal from Di Maria.
Basaksehir could move up to third tonight depending on the goal difference in the other game in the group.

CONFUSING
Man United are one of the most baffling sides to watch.
How can you got from beating PSG and smashing RB Leipzig, to losing the third group game to a team you’d expect them to beat?
FULL-TIME STATS
United dominated the ball from minute one, but it’s no good holding onto the ball if you’re not going to do anything with it!
Basaksehir were very clinical with the very little possession they had, and as a result of it, they scored two fantastic goals.
Look at the heat maps of the two sides! Basaksehir (left) barely entered United’s penalty area, but come out on top pulling off a historic win.

FT: BASAKSEHIR 2-1 MAN UNITED
Massive shock result in Istanbul!
Man United couldn’t find a way through the solid Basaksehir backline in the second half, what a result.
It is Basaksehir’s debut season in the Champions League and they’ve claimed the scalp of one of Europe’s elites.
United’s best chance to rescue a point came in the dying minutes through Martial.
The ball bounced around side the penalty area, it bounced up right for Martial and he guided it towards the far corner.
Epurean got back in time to clear the ball off the line.
Well deserved result for the home side.
PEEEEEEP!
THAT’S FULL-TIME!
