Cristiano Ronaldo faced embarrassment as his preferred Manchester United player experienced a setback

Paul Scholes believes Diogo Dalot was caught off guard during Manchester United’s 4-3 defeat against Copenhagen, stating that the young defender was at fault for Lukas Lerager’s equalizer. This critique is noteworthy as Cristiano Ronaldo had praised Dalot in a controversial interview with Piers Morgan a year ago, leading to his departure from United.

Scholes, who watched the game as a pundit, highlighted the team’s tendency to crumble after conceding, emphasizing the lack of character and leadership to prevent subsequent goals. This criticism contrasts with Ronaldo’s earlier commendation of Dalot’s professionalism during the interview with Morgan.
