The situation is becoming critical for Manchester United in the Europa League after a third consecutive draw against Fenerbahçe (1-1). Erik ten Hag’s side are struggling to capitalize on their chances, a problem highlighted by former players Paul Scholes and Owen Hargreaves on TNT Sports. Scholes did not mince his words: “They are in a terrible position in the Europa League, they need to start winning. »
Ten Hag is more optimistic: “Taking two points from Porto and Fenerbahçe shows that we are difficult to beat. But we have to be more killer up front. »
Scholes criticizes Ten Hag’s tactical choices
Beyond the results, Paul Scholes was skeptical of Ten Hag’s tactical choices, notably the use of Noussair Mazraoui as number 10, an experiment aborted in the second half.
“I didn’t see it working, it was strange not to field your best players,” criticized Scholes.
According to Hargreaves, “Three games, three points, it’s not enough. United are not in a position to expect better without changes. » The next match against Paok will be decisive for the Red Devils’ European ambitions.
