After what could be tagged excellent performances in their first two games of this season's UEFA champions league against PSG and RB Leipzig, football followers expected man United to consolidate their position at the top of the table when they took on the group's basement boys Instanbul Basekshehir on Wednesday but it turned out not to be so the Turkish side showcased a breathtaking counter attacking display led by the experienced Dem Baba that left the red devils playing playing catch up for the rest of the game.
Despite Anthony Martial halving the deficit for the away side before the break, they struggled to get an equalizer as they kept on playing side ways passes that never really threatened.
Despite the introduction of extra attacking threats like new signing Edinson Cavani, superstar Paul Pogba and young English prodigy Mason Greenwood, Man United were unable to get back into the game as the Turkish side held on for a memorable win and their first ever in the competition.
United still remain top of the group with goals difference as they are leveled on goal difference with RB Leipzig who got a crucial win yesterday against PSG
