Scholes slams Man Utd star for being ‘guilty’ of same mistake in multiple games

Man Utd legend Paul Scholes has singled out Diogo Daloy for being “guilty” of the same mistake in several games following the draw with Fenerbahce.

The Red Devils are still waiting for their first win in the Europa League after former manager Jose Mourinho frustrated them in Istanbul on Thursday.

Christian Eriksen put Man Utd ahead early against Mourinho’s Fenerbahce at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium, but Youssef En-Nesyri responded for the Turks after the break to secure a 1-1 draw.

While Man Utd’s third successive stalemate in the competition may do little to quell speculation over the future of Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag, it was Mourinho who stole the headlines on this occasion.

The Portuguese was sent to the stands in the second half for something he said to the officials after Fenerbahce were denied a penalty.

For En-Nesyri’s goal, Dalot allowed the Fenerbahce forward to cut inside after the Portugal international got back to defend.

And Scholes singled out Dalot after the game and insisted the Man Utd defender is “guilty” of making the same mistake “quite a bit” in matches.

Scholes continues TNT Sports: “I think Dalot is quite guilty of this. You know exactly what Saint-Maximin will do in this situation.

“He (Dalot) needs to show more urgency, get out there because you know they have a dangerous player in the box.

“It’s a great ball and he won’t miss from there, but Dalot doesn’t do that enough.

“He was good, one of the best players for United this season, but he has to understand that side of his game.

“You’ve got to stop it at the source or they’re going to score because he’s a real threat.”

Speaking about the overall result, Scholes added: “I think on the face of it it’s OK, you’d probably take that result before the game, it’s a decent draw.

“The two results you have to say: Porto away, tough place, equal good. Fenerbahce away, good draw. The home game was really disappointing, the Twente game, you should beat those teams.

“They’re in a terrible position in that Europa League, they’ve got to start winning games soon.”

Man Utd are currently 21st out of 36 teams in the Europa League group stage and reflecting on the draw in Turkey, Ten Hag said: “From two tough away games, Porto and Fenerbahce, we take two points which is a result . .

“But of course when you take the lead, and especially the way you can see the goal, starting with the free-kick played right into our block. It shouldn’t happen.

“Then it’s like a simple cross and a goal. After that and before that we had chances to score a second goal, so 2-0 up or then 2-1 but we didn’t take any chances.

“I think there’s a good chance. First half, Rashy (Marcus Rashford) was a good chance. Second half also for Rashy as the final pass then came right footed for him.

“Of course it’s a shame, and then you’re disappointed not to win.

“But we have to get the point and at Old Trafford we have to win games.”
