Ruben Amorim 'doesn't like his team' - Man Utd boss warned his side are 'so erratic and poor' as Paul Scholes says Red Devils are far from level required after collapse against Lyon

Premier League

Chelsea

Manchester United

<p>United drew 2-2 with Lyon in their Europa League quarter-final first leg after <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-player-ratings-vs-lyon-andre-onana-leny-yoro-joshua-zirkzee/blt59fb2d15ac532a73" target="_blank">conceding a 94th-minute equaliser,</a> with errors from Andre Onana proving costly. While Amorim claimed in his interview with<em> TNT Sports</em> that he was happy with the performance, declaring they "are improving game by game", former United midfielder Scholes was having none of it.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>"I don't think he believes that," <a href="https://x.com/footballontnt/status/1910444551958823381" target="_blank">Scholes said</a>. "I don't think he likes his team to be honest. He knows he hasn't got a great football team, he wants better, he needs better. You can see that the way he is on the touchline. He always looks disappointed to me, the way he's speaking there tells me he's disappointed with what he's got. He needs better, everyone knows he needs better if Man United want to challenge and be where they want to be."</p>

WHAT SCHOLES SAID

<p>Scholes contrasted United's performance against Lyon with the high-octane displays by Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League and he believes they are way off the level of teams in Europe's premier competition. </p><p>"They're so erratic, so poor in possession. There's almost no belief in them, no conviction in what they're trying to do. We all know goals is a big problem for this team and quality is needed all round to make it anything near a Champions League team," he said.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Scholes' fellow <em>TNT</em> pundit Karen Carney berated Onana for <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/andre-onana-drops-howler-prove-nemanja-matic-right-man-utd-goalkeeper-worst-in-history-europa-league-clash-lyon/blt64bd912463f1b937" target="_blank">his two errors</a>, especially after he got into a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/nemanja-matic-calls-andre-onana-one-of-worst-goalkeepers-man-utd-history-brutal-response-to-claim-red-devils-way-better-lyon/bltbdf272d2837adc77#cs54e34f09ddbbd603" target="_blank">verbal dispute with Nemanja Matic</a> this week. </p><p>She said: "When you do a lot of talking you have to be clean in your performance and he wasn't tonight." Scholes added on the goalkeeper: "He needs to be better. He's had a really poor year and talking about other teams is probably not a wise thing to do."</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The Red Devils play high-flying Newcastle away from home in the Premier League on Sunday before the crunch second leg against Lyon at Old Trafford on Thursday. But Scholes does not believe United are good enough to go on and win the competition. </p><p>He said: "At this minute, no. Watching PSG last night you're thinking they can win the Champions League. Watching Man United or Lyon tonight, I'm not thinking they can win the Europa League."</p>
