Peter Schmeichel has slammed Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag for bringing on Anthony Martial in place of Rasmus Hojlund in their 3-3 draw with Galatasaray.

After dropping three of four Group A games, Alejandro Garnacho’s early attempt was followed by a Bruno Fernandes rocket in Istanbul on Wednesday.

Andre Onana will be frustrated to have been beaten by Hakim Ziyech’s free-kick, and he was guilty of an even worse error after Scott McTominay scored Man United’s third.

The summer signing unexpectedly failed to deal with another Ziyech free-kick, and substitute Kerem Akturkoglu quickly lasered past him as the game ended 3-3.

Man United are now bottom of their group moving into the final round of fixtures, with the primary concern being 14 goals conceded in just five Group A games.

Despite allowing three goals, Schmeichel said Manchester United’s defense “played really well,” but he criticized the substitution of Martial for Hojlund.

“I actually think that the back four played really well today. I don’t think they could have done much more,” Schmeichel told CBS Sports.

“I thought they played well, but, again, you can’t argue that the mistakes by the goalkeeper are very, very expensive.

“Every time a goalkeeper makes a mistake it is a goal, it’s a fact of life.

“I think again, when you go back to Sunday, I thought everything worked really, really well. But when you play at this level, every little mistake you make is being penalised and you’ve got to learn that.

“When you’re 2-0 up – and it’s not the first time we’re 2-0 up in this tournament – you kill the game. You make sure the other team can’t get into it.

“You keep the ball, you make sure you don’t make mistakes – and a lot of mistakes were made today.

“And of course you also have to look at players like when Hojlund came off, a lot of the pressure from the very, very front disappeared.

“The guy he [Ten Hag] put in doesn’t do anything, where you had before someone who works really, really hard for the team up front all of a sudden you don’t have that pressure.

“And that gives the other team a lot of opportunities to pass the ball around.

“So there are many, many things you can look at, but, again, if you score this amount of goals you expect to have more than one point.”
