Ole Gunnar Solskjaer takes responsibility for 'unforgivable' defending leading to Demba Ba's incredible breakaway goal from Manchester United corner against Istanbul Basaksehir after they 'forgot duties' at the back

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took responsibility for Manchester United’s ‘unforgiveable’ defending after they suffered a shocking Champions League defeat in Istanbul on Wednesday night.

United’s performance was as ugly as their black and white change kit as they stank out the Fatih Terim Stadium and went down 2-1 to Basaksehir.

The Turks’ first goal was comical as United left Demba Ba unmarked on the halfway line when they took a short corner, and the veteran striker ended up racing clear to score.
