The Red Devils lost the Champions League clash 3-2, making it back-to-back defeats in the competition after they were also beaten by Bayern Munich.
It is not just in Europe where United are struggling with Erik ten Hag’s side having lost three of their last four Premier League matches.
There have been some rumours of discontent in the squad with some players thought to be in disagreement with Ten Hag over his treatment of Jadon Sancho.
Ten Hag, meanwhile, remains concerned with the attitudes ‘of at least a couple’ of United players.
Eriksen, speaking after the loss to Galatasaray, opened up about the mood in United’s camp and said: ‘It’s a big disappointment.
‘It was very quiet in the dressing room. I think we had some good spells in the game, but in the end, when we went ahead, we conceded shortly after and of course, that makes it difficult to stay in the game.
‘That’s something we have to change and quickly. I don’t think it’s confidence, it’s more awareness and sharpness to really keep our form.
‘Going ahead twice, you shouldn’t throw that away and we’ve done that in some other games this season.
‘I don’t think it’s confidence, I think it’s sharpness and wrong decisions at the wrong times and a bit of bad luck following us around at the moment.

‘We have to do a lot of work but again it’s details. The chances they had were from our mistakes and if we don’t make them, we don’t concede as we do.
‘Luckily, it’s only the start of the competition, we’ve only played two games and there’s still a lot of games to play.
‘We know for the next game we need to win every game for the opportunity to go through.’
