Paul Scholes and Owen Hargreaves have criticised Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea ahead of their FA Cup semi-final with Brighton.

De Gea and his United teammates put in an abject performance last night, as they crashed out of the Europa League in the quarter finals via a 3-0 defeat to Sevilla.

The Red Devils goalkeeper was a fault for two of the goals in the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium, playing a risky pass into Harry Maguire for Youssef En-Nesyri to score Sevilla’s first, before mis-controlling a high ball outside of the box to allow En-Nesyri to roll the ball into an empty net for his second and Sevilla’s third goal on the night.

After the game, Paul Scholes was critical of the Spanish shot-stopper, saying on BT Sport: “You see the ball high and you think what is he going to do. I was nervous because the night he had anyway, he was making me nervous and making the whole team nervous.
