Jakarta –
Anthony Martial scored Manchester United’s only goal in their loss to Istanbul Basaksehir. But he did not escape harsh criticism from Paul Scholes.
Scholes, who is a former main midfielder for the Red Devils, judged the performance of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s players as relatively not good, as they had to lose 1-2 at the opponent’s home in matchday three of the Champions League, on Thursday (11/5/2020) in the early hours. WIB.
In the Red Devils’ first defeat in the Champions League this season, the opposing team managed to win two goals with no first response. Only then did Anthony Martial reduce the deficit with his goal in the 43rd minute.
However, outside of these goals, Paul Scholes still criticized Martial’s performance. He said the former Monaco striker did nothing when Man United were in possession of the ball.
When asked if the Man United players seemed engaged, Scholes said in BT sport that, “There is an element of compromise, (but) I think the quality is that bad.”
“The amount of them who turn the ball, make bad decisions, (fail when) they try to pass the opponent. Going in, Paul Pogba tries to pass the opponent, trying to hold the opposing player instead of passing and keep the ball moving. The movement of the center forward is also practically impossible. Several times I have seen the midfielder in possession of the ball, Anthony Martial just does nothing between the two centers. “
“For me it is a problem of lack of quality. I am trying to find an excuse for that but in the end I still feel that they are in a good position, although the end, the quality, is very, very poor,” said Paul Scholes about the performance of Manchester United players at that time. lost to Istanbul Basaksehir.
