Paul Scholes and Rio Ferdinand were left furious after Manchester United’s shambolic defeat to Galatasaray in the Champions League on Tuesday night. The Red Devils were humbled at home by their Turkish opponents, with Mauro Icardi scoring late on to secure a 3-2 victory just minutes after blazing a spot-kick wide.<\/p>\n
Rasmus Hojlund opened the scoring for United with his first Old Trafford goal after 17 minutes before Wilfried Zaha equalised against his former club moments later. Hojlund struck again just after the hour mark, with the Dane firing home from close range after bursting into the opposing area from the halfway line.<\/p>\n
The visitors went on to level up again via Kerem Akturkoglu shortly before Icardi missed from the penalty spot following Andre Onana’s glaring error. The former Inter Milan striker made amends with just nine minutes remaining as he scooped the ball into the corner after taking advantage of a lapse in concentration from the hosts.<\/p>\n
Scholes and Ferdinand were on punditry duties for TNT Sports<\/em> at Old Trafford and were both left feeling humiliated after the full-time whistle. The former singled out Sofyan Amrabat, Raphael Varane and Victor Lindelof for extra criticism, with all three players failing to stop\u00a0Akturkoglu from scoring Galatasaray’s second goal of the night.<\/p>\n “Amrabat not in his favoured position but he just gets spun, the lad turns him around,” reflected Scholes. “I don\u2019t know where the hell Varane is going, Lindelof just looks lost in the middle, and they were so open in the middle of that defensive area.”<\/p>\n Scholes went on to question Marcus Rashford’s ability to make the right attacking decisions, with the England ace choosing to square the ball to Bruno Fernandes rather than shooting at one stage when he was clean through on goal.<\/p>\n “I think the Marcus Rashford of last season scores here, there\u2019s no doubt about it because he had confidence then,” added Scholes. “It\u2019s a good pass from [Christian] Eriksen, who had a good second half, but I saw Marcus coming in and he\u2019s always thinking about Fernandes but the trouble is he\u2019s not actually thinking about how quick the right-back is behind him.”<\/p>\n Ferdinand, meanwhile, slammed United’s defenders for switching off immediately after the Red Devils had taken the lead on not one, but two occasions. He said: “As a kid, you\u2019re told that you\u2019re the most vulnerable after just scoring and that happened twice tonight, we fell asleep.<\/p>\n “At times, it looked far too easy and they went through us like a hot knife through butter and it\u2019s embarrassing. This is the Champions League, it\u2019s not school football or anything. The lack of positional awareness, spacial awareness. At this level you\u2019ll be punished for that and they were tonight.”<\/p>\n MORE TO FOLLOW<\/b><\/p>\n We’ll be bringing you the very latest updates, pictures, and video on this breaking news story.<\/i><\/p>\n For the latest news and breaking news visit: \/sport<\/i><\/p>\n Stay up to date with all the big headlines, pictures, analysis, opinion, and video on the stories that matter to you.<\/i><\/p>\n Follow us on Twitter @DExpress_Sport – the official Daily Express & Express.co.uk Twitter account – providing real news in real-time.<\/i><\/p>\n We’re also on Facebook @DailyExpressSport – offering your must-see news, features, videos, and pictures throughout the day to like, comment, and share from the Daily Express, Sunday Express, and Express.co.uk.<\/i><\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.
