Paul Scholes criticized Manchester United defenders, particularly Raphaël Varane, after the 3-2 defeat to Galatasaray in the Champions League.
United’s defenders were put to the test by a rampaging Galatasaray, who twice came from behind to snatch victory at Old Trafford, leaving Erik ten Hag’s side with a mountain to climb in the Champions League . And Scholes was very concerned about the form of Raphaël Varane.
“ Disappointed. I don’t think Manchester United played that badly, but all the talk before the match was about the team’s lack of goals. We neglected the defensive aspect of the match”Scholes told TNT Sports. “It’s not enough, they were everywhere.”
The former United midfielder was particularly concerned about Varane’s form. The 2018 World Cup winner has been unconvincing in defense and has suffered from minor injuries throughout his career at Old Trafford. “ I’m a little worried about Varane… I think his legs are a little lethargic and he can’t keep himself in shape. I worry about him“added Scholes.
