Man United are torn apart as a 'LAUGHING STOCK' across Europe for 'unbelievable shipwreck' defending in Istanbul... and papers in Solskjaer's homeland say he'll need 100 MORE matches to fix the mess

Manchester United's misery in Istanbul became the hot topic across Europe on Thursday morning with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side labelled the 'laughing stock of England' following defeat to Basaksehir.

United went down 2-1 in Turkey but it was the manner of their defeat - namely, their defending - which drew criticism from media all over the continent.

As Spanish outlet Marca quizzed readers on 'the goal nobody understands', Norwegian outlet Daglabet, in Solskjaer's homeland, stuck the boot in by insisting that United are 'worse than ever'.
