Hundreds of Galatasaray supporters broke into the home end of Old Trafford Wednesday night, leaving Manchester United supporters angry.

On Tuesday night at the Theatre of Dreams, the Turkish giants defeated United in their Champions League tie with a historic 3-2 victory.

The Galatasaray fans were in high spirits as they cheered their team who went on to claim the victory.

Despite claiming their first victory on English soil, the away crowd evaded the Man United home stand after the match.

Man United fans reaction 

According to reports from the Sun, after the game, hundreds of fans are seen on video singing and screaming in a breathtaking scene.

After the final whistle, United fans remained stunned after seeing the Galatasaray fans in the homestand.

The incident has caused many fans to complain online that the Red Devils had severe rules for their own fans but did nothing to stop intruders.

One fan said, “United will tout their own fans to the tune of £400 and ban passing on tickets for a meaningless cup game, but let about 10k Gala fans in the home end without intervention.

“Felt like I was away in Istanbul. Absolutely disgusting from United.”

Another fan declared, “Nearly had a fight next to me, really bad.”

One fan noted, “This is a business club, not a football club.”

Another fan added, “Gifted my ticket to the foundation. United sold it at the ticket office. Guess who was in my seat? A Galatasaray fan.”

Man United will host Brentford on Saturday and Erik ten Hag will be anxious to avoid another defeat before the international break.
