Manchester United legends Paul Scholes and Peter Schmeichel were not impressed with Tyrell Malacia’s performance in the Europa League. The left-back made a crucial mistake during the first leg of the quarter-final clash against Sevilla that resulted in a complete collapse for United. The team was comfortably ahead by 2-0 after a first-half brace by Marcel Sabitzer, but a series of own goals from United allowed Sevilla to draw the game. Malacia’s error allowed Sevilla to score their first goal, which further contributed to United’s downfall. It remains to be seen how this error will impact Malacia’s future performances for United.
Paul Scholes was not impressed with Feyenoord defender Tyrell Malacia’s performance during their recent match. “The second half was a complete disaster, really,” Scholes lamented, pointing the blame at Malacia for failing to deal with a crucial goal opportunity. According to Scholes, Malacia allowed striker En-Nesyri to become a “handful” in the air, ultimately leading to a “really difficult night” for Feyenoord. In Scholes’ opinion, Malacia’s mistakes were easily avoidable and showcased a lack of awareness of the danger behind him. He emphasized the importance of being decisive in situations like these and just “swinging your right foot at it.”
During the match, it seemed like Manchester United were in control, but then things took a turn for the worse. First, injuries and suspensions hit the team, making it harder for them to keep up their momentum. Then, to make matters worse, they suffered a terrible blow when they conceded a sloppy goal. Fellow United legend, Schmeichel, was quick to criticize Malacia’s error, calling it terrible and sloppy. It was a frustrating turn of events for the team, especially after they had been playing so well during the first half. It’s always tough to bounce back from setbacks like these, but there’s no doubt that Manchester United will be back on top soon enough.
