The final whistle is blown. Manchster United do just enough to win as they start out on a record 17th consecutive UEFA Champions League group stage campaign. It was anything but simple though, despite Michael Carrick's early goal, as Galatasaray went close numerous times, Nordin Amrabat, Hamit Altıntop and Selçuk İnan all grazing the woodwork.

The referee blows for half-time. Simon Hart (@UEFAcomSimonH), Old Trafford: United made the ideal start here with Michael Carrick’s goal but they have been forced increasingly on to the back foot by a Galatasaray side who have hit the woodwork twice through Nordin Amrabat and Hamit Altıntop.

Elmander (in) - Umut Bulut (out) (Galatasaray) A big blow for Galatasaray as their top scorer, with five in four league games, departs after just 16 minutes. He did not seem to be limping, so the injury was not immediately evident.

Carrick (Man. United) scores! After Nani went close, it is the England midfielder who breaks the deadlock. Bursting through the centre, Michael Carrick exchanged passes with Shinji Kagawa before rounding Fernando Muslera to tap in.
