Bruno blasts sloppy mistakes

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes criticized his side's lack of control in Champions League games after again blowing a two-goal lead to draw 3-3 at Galatasaray on Wednesday.

The English giant is on the brink of elimination at the group stage after winning just one of its opening five matches.

"It's too bad to be honest," Fernandes told TNT Sports. "What we have been doing in the Champions League is not enough, we have to control our games.

"It's not the first time, even Copenhagen, I understand we had one player less, but we score the 3-2 and we have to secure the result. We have to understand these type of games, these stages, you have to be smart enough and manage the game better.

"Everyone has to step up and take responsibility for their own mistakes."

United must beat German champion Bayern Munich at home in its final Group A game and hope other results go its way to reach the last 16.

But the whole campaign has been a tale of missed opportunities for the Red Devils.

Twice they led Galatasaray at home before losing 3-2 in October, while they let a two-goal lead slip in a 4-3 defeat to FC Copenhagen earlier this month.

Fernandes' stunning strike put United 2-0 up in Istanbul within 20 minutes and they also led 3-1 after an hour.

However, two costly errors from goalkeeper Andre Onana allowed Hakim Ziyech freekicks to reduce Galatasaray's deficit and the host earned a point through Kerem Akturkoglu.
