Scholes: Man Utd in big trouble

Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes has criticised the club for its Champions League campaign so far.

United have lost their first two games in the group stages to Bayern Munich and Galatasaray.

As they prepare for two games against FC Copenhagen, which they must win, Scholes is still furious about the loss at home to Gala last time around.

"This week is vitally important," he said.

"They're in a terrible position after losing to Galatasaray, that first home game was a complete disaster.

"I'm not sure how much confidence the two wins in the Premier League will give them. One of them was scraped through [against Brentford], and again the performance wasn't great again on Saturday night against a team you would expect to be relegated [Sheffield United].

"They're just not firing at the minute. I'm not sure what the issue is, there seems to be a lot of changes all the time, they can't seem to get a consistent team, whether it's through injuries or suspensions, whatever it may be. But they need to win this game, there's no doubt about it, and they probably need to win three of the next four games in the Champions League.

"It would be a major disappointment if they don't get through this group. It should've been a relatively easy group to get out of and they have made it big trouble."
