Bruno Fernandes scored a sensational goal in Manchester United's Champions League clash against Galatasaray.
The Manchester United captain put his side 2-0 in the opening 20 minutes of the game with a strike from outside the box leaving goalkeeper Fernando Muslera with no chance to save the rocket of a shot.
The goal from the Portuguese international came just seven minutes after he assisted Alejandro Garnacho to put United up front with the Argentine netting his first-ever goal in the Champions League, just days after scoring a sumptuous bicycle kick in a 3-0 win over Everton in the Premier League.

Fernandes – who scored his first goal in the competition with his strike against the Turkish side on Wednesday (November 29) – is aiming to lead his side into the knockout stages of the tournament with a win over Galatasaray.
With the scoreline currently at 2-1 with ex-Chelsea star Hakim Ziyech halving United's lead in the first-half, a loss for the Premier League giants at RAMS Park will see them crash out of the Champions League in the group stage.

At one point, the game looked like it may be postponed after heavy rain left the pitch waterlogged but after officials came and tested the pitch, UEFA released a statement confirming that the game will take place as expected.
It's a game both sets of fans as well as neutrals are enjoying thanks to the constant end-to-end action. United currently sit second in Group F and are two points ahead of both Copenhagen and Galatasaray and will be in a great position to qualify for the knockout stages should they hold out for the three points in Istanbul.
