Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has said André Onana “has to do better” but insisted the goalkeeper was not the only one to blame for his team’s collapse at Galatasaray.
Onana let in Hakim Ziyech free kicks either side of half-time as the Turkish team claimed a 3-3 draw on Wednesday that has left United teetering on the edge of elimination from the Champions League.

Asked if as captain he needed to talk to Onana, Fernandes said: “He knows how to deal with these moments. He has to do better on the pitch as we all do. We should have done more to have taken a better result. It’s not just because of him that we got this negative result. We all have to take responsibility for what we do, me first.”
United manager Erik ten Hag backed Onana after the game, saying: “It is not about individuals… it is always about the team.”
Fernandes agreed: “We all need to know that we have to improve and that there are things to improve. We are making many mistakes in the Champions League and it’s costing us.”
Only Antwerp have let in more goals, 15, in the Champions League than United (14) this season.
