Man United's draw with Fenerbahce extends winless European streak
- Manchester United drew with Fenerbahce, extending their 12-month winless streak in European competitions.
- The team struggled in the Europa League and sat in 21st place, while also facing challenges in the Premier League at 12th position.
- Scholes criticized the lack of improvement under Erik ten Hag after significant investments and emphasized the need for a turnaround in upcoming matches.
In October 2024, Paul Scholes expressed disappointment with Manchester United's progress under Erik ten Hag following a recent Europa League match against Fenerbahce in Istanbul. The team, led by Christian Eriksen's goal, failed to secure a win, resulting in a draw after a second-half equaliser by Youssef En-Nesyri. This result marked the club's challenging position; they stood at 21st in the Europa League and 12th in the Premier League. Scholes criticized the lack of improvement, particularly with significant financial investment and two years of tenure under Ten Hag. While the team's recent matches showed some potential for improvement, including a key win against Brentford, concerns remain about their overall performance and league standing. Upcoming fixtures against West Ham and Leicester were highlighted as opportunities for the team to gain momentum and better their position in both domestic and European competitions.
