ROBBIE SAVAGE'S praise for Bruno Fernandes instantly backfired as the Manchester United captain gifted Galatasaray a goal.
Fernandes had doubled his side's lead in Turkey after Alejandro Garnacho's opener.
The host's were on the break when Fernandes sprinted back and gave away a foul.
He was initially praised by TNT Sports commentator Savage for tracking back.
Savage said: "Look at Fernandes, just look at the captain. Look at that recovery run! Recovery runs, look at him now, he's still going."

The former player-turned pundit then let out a laugh and said "that's unlucky" as Fernandes conceded a foul.
And the resulting free-kick led to ex-Chelsea winger Hakim Ziyech curling home to pull one back and leave egg on Savage's face.
One fan said: "Robbie Savage getting so excited by Bruno tracking back and ends up committing a foul which leads to a goal."
Another added: "Robbie Savage wetting himself over Bruno tracking back, just for him to give away the free they concede from."
One joked: "Hilarious for Robbie Savage to be gagging over Bruno Fernandes just before he gave away a silly foul and also left a gap in the wall for Galatasaray’s goal."

Alejandro Garnacho got United off to a flyer by opening the score on 11 minutes with Fernandes soon doubling the lead.
But former Chelsea winger Hakim Ziyech pulled one back on the half hour mark with a sublime curling free kick.
Scott McTominay made it 3-1 on 55 minutes but another Ziyech goal again tightened the score leading to a nervy last half hour.
