Following Manchester United’s Wednesday draw with Galatasaray, Paul Scholes stated in his post-match interview that Bruno Fernandes needed to “take responsibility.”

After leading 2-0 and 3-1 in Turkey, United was on the edge of elimination from the Champions League after failing to overcome the obstacle once more. They drew 3-3.

In order to advance to the knockout stages, the Red Devils must now defeat Bayern Munich in their final group match and hope that Galatasaray and Copenhagen draw. It doesn’t seem possible.

United took the lead early on through goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes, but Hakim Ziyech equalized with a free kick.

When that, Ziyech scored from a set piece once more when Red Devils goalkeeper Andre Onana let the ball bounce off his gloves and into the net. Scott McTominay’s goal on the break gave United a two-goal lead once more.

In order to guarantee that the points were shared, Kerem Akturkoglu then equalized in the 71st minute with an incredible strike.

United’s captain, Fernandes, acknowledged after the game that his team lost because of “mistakes.”

“It was another game where we could have closed the game,” he told TNT Sports. “We had too many chances, as I’ve said, and mistakes by ourselves. It’s too bad, to be honest. I don’t want to be too negative, but what we’ve been doing in the Champions League is not enough.”

Scholes wasn’t pleased with Fernandes’ remarks, believing the captain ought to have taken the field after Ziyech’s goals were the consequence of his two fouls.

Scholes said: “I know in his interview he is talking about mistakes, but he made two big mistakes tonight by giving two stupid fouls away that led to two goals.

“The full team, including himself as the captain, have to take responsibility – it’s a game they should win. They just cannot keep clean sheets – the defence is all over the place, the keeper is making mistakes, Bruno giving away cheap free-kicks.

“It makes the game difficult for them every time and they don’t need to do that.”

To be fair, Fernandes did not specifically point the finger at anyone; instead, he talked of “mistakes by ourselves,” so it’s unclear what exactly is bothering Scholes so much.
