Paul Scholes did not hold back in a damning assessment of Manchester United’s backline following their loss to Galatasaray on Tuesday night.

Despite leading twice, United lost 3-2 to the Turkish giants – the first time the club have lost their opening two Champions League matches of a season.

While the attack looked impressive, defensively the Red Devils are all over the place, with 18 goals conceded in their opening 10 games of the campaign.

United legend Scholes was understandably frustrated, particularly with how Galatasaray’s second goal was scored.

‘United really had to win this, your first home Champions League game. This is a terrible result,’ he said on TNT Sports.

‘[Sofyan] Amrabat, look he’s not a left-back but he gets done for the goal. It was so wide open.

‘I’m not sure where [Raphael] Varane is going. [Victor] Lindelof is lost in the middle of the pitch. So soft and weak. They were so open in that central defensive area, they gave chances away.’
