Paul Scholes shared his impressions of the match between the Red Devils and Galatasaray (2:3).
«Amrabat didn't position himself correctly, which made it easy for them to beat him in the build-up to the second goal. But I didn't understand where Varane was at that moment. And why Lindelof seemed lost somewhere in the middle of the field. Casemiro couldn't keep up with the opponent either. Varane and Lindelof left too much space in the center of the penalty area during the game - the opponents consistently created dangerous moments in that area.
Regarding the goalkeeper - everyone already knows his mistakes. And in the moment of the third goal, Onana gave up too quickly: he just sat on the grass when he could have stayed on his feet and tried to catch the ball.
But the team's biggest problem is the defense. Varane was one of the best defenders in the world, but now it seems like his legs are letting him down, and he has become too slow.
Losing the first home match in the Champions League is a terrible result, especially after the disappointment away.
Ten Hag? I don't think he should be under pressure. Erik had a great first season, but he was unlucky with injuries, including Mason Mount's injury,» said Paul Scholes on TNT Sports.
It's noteworthy that Manchester United started their Champions League campaign with two defeats.
