Paul Scholes, Manchester United legend and BT Sport analyst, acknowledged Sevilla's great result, defended that the second half was a complete disaster, criticized that the substitutes weakened United. Sevilla aren't great, but it's going to be tough, Scholes said of the second leg at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán.

The former footballer blamed Manchester United for being the victim of his overconfidence against Sevilla, United was too confident that Sevilla were not very good in that first half. Manchester was playing very well and with such confidence that I thought this would be 3, 4 or 5-0.

From 3-0 to 2-2, Antony's shot to the post that could have sealed the tie. Sir Alex Ferguson would not have allowed us to be complacent in the second half of a quarter-final. Coach Ten Hag shouldn't let them take their foot off the gas in a European quarterfinal, Scholes said.

Peter Schmeichel after United's 2-2 draw against Sevilla for his part commented that some Manchester players should be ashamed. Peter Schmeichel, legendary Manchester United goalkeeper, also joined the criticism against the 'red devils' game against Sevilla.
