Paul Scholes did not hold back in a damning assessment of Manchester United\u2019s backline following their loss to Galatasaray on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Manchester United news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n

Despite leading twice, United lost 3-2 to the Turkish giants \u2013 the first time the club have lost their opening two Champions League matches of a season.<\/p>\n

While the attack looked impressive, defensively the Red Devils are all over the place, with 18 goals conceded in their opening 10 games of the campaign.<\/p>\n

United legend Scholes was understandably frustrated, particularly with how Galatasaray\u2019s second goal was scored.<\/p>\n

\u2018United really had to win this, your first home Champions League game. This is a terrible result,\u2019 he said on TNT Sports.<\/p>\n

\u2018[Sofyan] Amrabat, look he\u2019s not a left-back but he gets done for the goal. It was so wide open.<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019m not sure where [Raphael] Varane is going. [Victor] Lindelof is lost in the middle of the pitch. So soft and weak. They were so open in that central defensive area, they gave chances away.\u2019<\/p>\n
