Manchester United was destined to win against Galatasaray, and the match started well, as they led by two goals after more than a quarter of an hour, and Bruno Fernandes scored the second goal. However, United let the victory slip away after that, the end was 3-3, after which the English club could have been eliminated if Köbenhavn could win against Bayern Munich. Since this did not happen, the match ended 0-0, United’s hopes of advancing are still alive, but even a possible victory against the Bavarians in the last round will not necessarily be enough for them, since both Köbenhavn and Galatasaray are ahead of them by one point, so the Manchester players can only reach the round of 16 if their match against each other is a draw. Paul Scholes’ criticism has arrived.

The former club legend, Scholes, who played in 716 games in United’s jersey, picked the goalscorer Bruno Fernandes for himself, and not by chance. The Portuguese star picked up his teammates after the unpleasant draw when he said the following: – We could have ended this match a long time ago, we had many chances, but we made mistakes. To be honest, it’s very little. I don’t want to be negative, but what we have done so far in the Champions League is not enough.
Scholes: Fernandes did something stupid twice
He reacted to this in the Daily Mail article Scholes, who thinks that Fernandes should first of all find fault with himself, because despite his goal, the victory against Galatasaray was largely due to him.
– I heard that he talked about mistakes in his statement, but two of them were made by him, because the opponent scored twice after his stupid foul – Paul Scholes told Fernandes. – The whole team, including its captain, must take responsibility, because this was a match that should have been won. They simply cannot play football without conceding a goal, the defense is scattered, the goalkeeper makes mistakes, and Fernandes gives the opponent a chance with cheap free kicks.
However, Fernandes can rightfully point to the United goalkeeper, because he may have committed an unnecessary foul, but it does not necessarily follow that André Onana badly saves Hakim Zijes’s defendable shot. This pot was also needed so that the Manchester team did not win against Galata in the end.
