Paul Scholes criticises two 'stupid' Bruno Fernandes mistakes during Manchester United vs Galatasaray

Paul Scholes has criticised Bruno Fernandes for conceding two 'stupid' fouls that both led to goals in Wednesday's 3-3 draw at Galatasaray.

Manchester United twice threw away two-goal leads during a dramatic night at Rams Park in Istanbul. Alejandro Garnacho and Fernandes had put them 2-0 up inside 18 minutes but after the latter needlessly fouled Lucas Torreira, Hakim Ziyech saw his weak free-kick beat the wrong-footed Andre Onana.

Scott McTominay made it 3-1 shortly after half-time but another foul from Fernandes allowed Ziyech to net a second, this time seeing his effort palmed into his own net by Onana. Muhammed Aktürkoğlu then levelled with a brilliant effort on 71 minutes and despite chances falling at both ends, it finished 3-3.

"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. We have to control our games every time, it's not the first game we've had like this." But Scholes insists that two major errors came from the captain.

"Bruno (Fernandes) is clever enough to do that [pick a pass]," he told TNT Sports. "I said before the game that we need him up the pitch where he can do that kind of thing.

"I know in his interview he is talking about mistakes, but he made two big mistakes tonight by giving two stupid fouls away that lead to two
