Manchester United legend, Paul Scholes has attacked manager, Erik Ten Hag for some of the decisions taken in the club’s Europa League 1-0 victory over Real Sociedad on Thursday.
Scholes wasn’t happy with Ten Hag’s antics and decision-making in the game in Spain.
The Englishman noted that it ‘became a mess’ in the second, slamming Ten Hag’s substitutions and tactics.
Manchester United needed at least 2 goals to climb top of their group and avoid a playoff but the Red Devils could only score just one goal thanks to youngster Gamacho’s first half strike.
Ten Hag made some substitutions in the second, with United Scott McTominay replacing Victor Lindelof and Marcus Rashford coming on for Donny van de Beek.
“I think it got a bit messy that second half, I’m not too sure what he was trying to achieve,” Scholes told BT Sport.
‘”But in the second half I just thought…after being in complete control, it became a mess [after those substitutions].”
Meanwhile, Scholes has now warned Manchester united side to pray to avoid Barcelona in the play-off.
United failed to top their Europa League group on Thursday by only beating Real Sociedad by one goal rather than two, Ten Hag and Co. will be forced to play a two-legged tie in four months’ time to decide whether they’ll make it through to the last 16.
