Paul Scholes criticises two usual suspects as he blames Man Utd trio for Barcelona goal

Paul Scholes has pinned the blame for Barcelona's opening goal at the Camp Nou on Thursday night on Fred, Tyrell Malacia and David de Gea.

Manchester United were held to a 2-2 draw in the first leg of their Europa League play-off tie. It was a pulsating affair, with United establishing a 2-1 lead thanks to Marcus Rashford's strike and own goal from Jules Kounde. Raphinha's late goal secured a draw.

Barcelona took the lead when Marcos Alonso scored from a corner. It was a sloppy goal to concede, as Malacia and Fred failed to track former Chelsea man Alonso's run to the far post. De Gea also failed to cover himself in glory after being beaten at his near post.
