Paul Scholes details 'worry' over Manchester United player after defeat vs Galatasaray

Paul Scholes is concerned about the fitness levels of Raphael Varane following another tough night for the defender in Tuesday's defeat against Galatasaray.

Manchester United suffered their second consecutive Champions League defeat, failing to hold two leads and eventually losing 3-2. Rasmus Hojlund scored two brilliant goals either side of half-time but quickly saw each cancelled out firstly by Wilfried Zaha and then Kerem Aktürkoğlu.

Erik ten Hag's side went down to 10 men when Casemiro gave away a penalty following a terrible pass from Andre Onana. And despite Mauro Icardi dragging his spot-kick wide, the Argentinian gathered himself to dink a simple finish over the Reds goalkeeper to win the game.

All three of Galatasaray's goals were the result of some comical defending from United, with Varane consistently stranded and lacking the pace to recover. The 30-year-old has suffered multiple injuries during his time in Manchester and Scholes is concerned for his fitness levels.

"I do worry about Varane a bit," Scholes told TNT Sports after the defeat. "I know he’s been one of the very best defenders around, just like Rio [Ferdinand] was, in that same ilk at Real Madrid, but I just feel like his legs are looking a little bit sluggish. He’s a bit unfit, and I’d be really worried about him."

Defeat on Tuesday was United's sixth in just 10 matches across all competitions, signalling their worst start to a season for 37 years. It was also the first time they have lost their first two Champions League matches.
