Scott McTominay says the whole team have to take responsibility for Manchester United\u2019s bleak Champions League predicament after Andre Onana\u2019s mistakes and a lack of killer instinct cost them at Galatasaray.<\/p>\n

Having lost three of their opening four Group A matches, Erik ten Hag\u2019s side managed to throwaway a two-goal second-half lead in Istanbul as a pulsating, helter-skelter clash ended 3-3.<\/p>\n

Wednesday\u2019s result leaves United bottom of the pool with only the home clash with already qualified Bayern Munich to come in a fortnight\u2019s time.<\/p>\n

Copenhagen\u2019s draw in Germany later that day keeps the Red Devils\u2019 faint chances of progressing alive, but they must win their final game and hope Copenhagen draw with Galatasaray.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to wait and see,\u201d McTominay told the PA news agency. \u201cIt\u2019s not in our hands.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve put ourselves in that position and we have to own it and that\u2019s football.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe kept our cool really well, I felt like throughout large portions of the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously towards the end it gets a little bit like a basketball game where everyone\u2019s up and down and some tired legs and stuff like that.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to rest, recover and there\u2019s is a big game coming up on Saturday, which we will be ready for as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

United have little time to recover from their draining night in Turkey as attention turns to Saturday evening\u2019s Premier League trip to Newcastle.<\/p>\n

All eyes are sure to be on goalkeeper Onana in the North East after the summer signing endured another chastening Champions League night for the Red Devils.<\/p>\n

Guilty of gaffes away to Bayern and in the reverse fixture against Galatasaray, the Cameroon international was somehow beaten by two Hakim Ziyech free-kicks on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The second was particularly shocking and proved the catalyst to the hosts\u2019 comeback but McTominay refused to blame him and acknowledged that outfield players should have put the game to bed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re so disappointed not to come away with more goals than three, to be honest,\u201d said the midfielder, who had put United 3-1 up in the 55th minute.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you had said that to us before the evening started (we would score three) we would have been delighted with that, hopefully get another clean sheet.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut football\u2019s football. There\u2019s mistakes and different things that can happen in the game and it\u2019s partly our fault at the other end of the pitch for not killing the game as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had control and we were playing some good stuff.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s football. It can happen and there\u2019s no individuals in this team. We all want to be a collective and push each other forwards together.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut, yeah, there\u2019s another game on Saturday which we\u2019re looking forward to and we\u2019ll learn from this one for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

McTominay added that \u201cwhatever happens at both ends of the pitch we need to stick together\u201d as United look to shake off their challenging Champions League disappointment.<\/p>\n

Newcastle have also been in midweek action away to Paris Saint-Germain and St James\u2019 Park is set to provide another hostile environment for Ten Hag\u2019s team.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no intimidation in football,\u201d McTominay added. \u201cYou\u2019ve just got to go there and take it on its head on and go for it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the way that this team wants to operate \u2013 we want to go and fight every challenge head on and that\u2019s it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no ducking and diving out of situations. We want to go and push ourselves and test ourselves against some really good teams as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
