Around the seventy-second minute, Galatasaray replaced Zaha with Dries Mertens.
Zaha left to applause from both sets of supporters, nothing dramatic in the exit.
Mertens took up a position immediately behind Icardi, giving Galatasaray another body to receive between United's midfield and defense.
Demien started dropping closer to Casemiro because of it.
Mertens received once and tried to turn, but Demien arrived from his blind side, used his body rather than a tackle, and forced the ball back.
「TRAIT ACTIVATED」 「Ball Winner」
Around the seventy-fifth minute, United nearly made it four.
Demien won the second ball after Varane cleared toward midfield.
Oliveira closed him, but Demien rolled away and released Rashford behind Boey.
Rashford carried into the box and tried to square it to Bruno, but Muslera got there first and smothered it.
Demien threw his arms down in frustration, Rashford pointing toward the recovering defender to explain the delay.
