In a remarkable game, the Turkish side twice came from behind to win 3-2 and pile the pressure on the Red Devils as they start their campaign with two defeats, sitting bottom of Group A.

Zaha, who had an unsuccessful spell with United from 2013-15 moved to Galatasaray from Crystal Palace over the summer and scored their first goal at Old Trafford on Tuesday.

He was desperate to join a Champions League club when leaving Selhurst Park and is loving playing at the highest level of European football.

‘There’s nothing like it. It’s literally playing between the best and a chance to showcase my talent between the best. I feel like that’s where it’s decided whether you’re good or not. Days like today are what it’s all about.’

The 30-year-old has suffered an injury since moving to Turkey and only played in four league games so far, but he ahs thanked Galatasaray fans for understanding the situation and supporting him nonetheless.

‘Obviously they were thinking, “what is going on with Zaha?” They must have been thinking, “is he injury prone now?” But the main thing is they kept the trust,’ he said.

‘I kept getting messages on social media saying they trust me. It’s just love really, to show they were willing to give me time because they know what I can bring to the team. If a club shows me love, on the pitch I’m going to show it back with every action.’
