'It's criminal': Paul Scholes scolds David de Gea for being 'scared of getting hurt' in RB Leipzig's third goal after Manchester United crash out of Champions League

Paul Scholes has blasted David de Gea's 'criminal' goalkeeping for RB Leipzig's third goal in their 3-2 victory against Manchester United.

The defeat - which saw United trail by three goals at one stage before Bruno Fernandes' penalty and Paul Pogba's header - knocked Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men out of the Champions League.

The third of the German side's goals was scored by Justin Kluivert after neither United captain Harry Maguire nor de Gea could intercept Angelino's deflected cross before the Dutchman clipped the ball home.

And former United midfielder Scholes claimed de Gea was scared of sustaining an injury and therefore not only made himself smaller but did not look to claim the cross with any conviction.
