Former Man United midfielder Paul Scholes has offered his backing to Erik ten Hag.
Former midfielder Paul Scholes insists Manchester United need to stand by manager Erik ten Hag, despite the club's disappointing start to the season.
United, realistically, need to win both of their last two matches to stand any chance of reaching the knockout stages. They face Galatasaray in Turkey later this month before welcoming group winners Bayern Munich to Old Trafford on December 12.READ MORE: United are missing their unsung hero from last season
However, Scholes is adamant that United must refrain from sacking the Dutchman, insisting he has enough credit in the bank from last season to be given the opportunity to turn things around. He also felt he was "unlucky" with the manner of the defeat to Copenhagen, who played around an hour of the game with an extra man after Marcus Rashford was sent-off towards the end of the first half.
"He's had a few injuries, but nine defeats in 17 games is not good enough. All of those managers have been sacked in that second or third year, but I don't think we can afford to do that anymore.
