Peter Schmeichel slams two Manchester United players after thrilling Galatasaray draw

Former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel has criticised Andre Onana and Anthony Martial for their performances in the 3-3 draw against Galatasaray.

Erik ten Hag's side managed to regroup though and restored their two-goal advantage through Scott McTominay shortly after the interval. However, that would be as good as it got for the Reds as Ziyech added his second following a poor error from Onana as he attempted to stop the free kick.

"Do you know what? I think the back four played very well today, I don't think they could have done much more," he explained. "Again though, you can't argue, the mistakes by the goalkeeper are very, very expensive.

"Every time a goalkeeper makes a mistake, it is a goal, that is just a fact of life. If you go back to Sunday, everything worked really well but when you play at this level, every little mistake you make is being penalised and you have got to learn that.

"When you are 2-0 up, and it is not the first time we have been 2-0 up in this tournament, you have to kill the game, you make sure the other team can't get into it, you keep the ball and try
