United captain Fernandes soon joined the party and doubled his team’s lead with just 18 minutes on the clock. Shaw played a smart pass inside from the left-hand touchline to Fernandes, who powered towards the edge of the area. The Red Devils captain then curled a beauty of a right-footed finish into the top-left corner, leaving Galatasaray goalkeeper Muslera with no chance.
However, despite taking a 3-1 lead just after the start of second half, Manchester United failed to get all three points and were held to a draw.
Two goals from Hakim Ziyech and a stunning from Kerem Akturkoglu helped Galatasaray to salvage a point at home and move to second position in Group A.
