Paul Scholes pointed the finger at Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot after his former side drew 1-1 with Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce in the Europa League.
As has often been the case this season, United failed to push on after taking the lead as they were held to a third successive draw in Europe by Turkish side Fenerbahce.
The visitors made a bright start in Istanbul and took the lead on 15 minutes through Christian Eriksen, who finished a well-worked move to dampen the spirit of the raucous home fans.
But Fenerbahce were on top for much of the rest of the first half and would have equalised had it not been for a stunning double-save from United goalkeeper Andre Onana.
Onana could do nothing about Youssef En-Nesyri’s 49th-minute leveller, however, as the Moroccan rose well to glance home an inviting cross from ex-Newcastle United winger Allan Saint-Maximin.
Dalot tracked back with Saint-Maximin but allowed him to cut inside before delivering a superb cross into the path of En-Nesyri.
Manchester United legend Scholes was critical of Dalot’s defending for the goal and said the Portugal international is often ‘guilty’ of allowing wingers too much room.
