Erik ten Hag delivered his very honest assessment of the evening's events in San Sebastian in the Europa League.<br /><br />'It was a little bit League Two-ish': Paul Scholes SLAMS Erik ten Hag's long ball tactics as Manchester United chased second goal at Real Sociedad, claiming there was 'no plan' in 'COMPLETE MESS' of a second half.<br /><br />Paul Scholes has slammed Erik ten Hag's long-ball tactics against Real Sociedad as 'a bit League Two-ish', with the Red Devils icon claiming the Dutchman had 'no plan' in a 'complete mess' of a second half.<br /><br />Alejandro Garnacho scored a superb winner for United as they secured a 1-0 win over Real Sociedad, but the result meant the Premier League side fell short in finishing top of the group given how they needed to win by a two-goal margin, with the Spanish side hanging on to advance to the Europa League knockout stages.<br /><br />It also means United will have to face a Champions League dropout in a play-off fixture for a place in the next round, potentially setting up a meeting with the likes of Barcelona and Juventus.<br /><br />And while Scholes says United were in 'complete control' for the first hour of the match, the United icon insists Ten Hag's changes went against his own team. <br /><br /><br />'The second half looked a bit messy, there was no plan,' Scholes told BT Sport. 'The plan was to launch it forward to look for second balls - it was a little bit League One, League Two-ish for me. Maybe a little bit disrespectful. <br /><br />'I wasn't really sure what he was trying to do. It started with the [Victor] Lindelof substitution. They were in complete control until he went off.

It's not his position, he needs to be on the shoulder of people.<br /><br />'Rashford needs to be out wide, he needs to be in space. It just became a long ball game – and I'm all for that, it can work – but the second half just became a complete mess having been in control in the first half.<br /><br />'There were positive substitutions I just didn't think Marcus [Rashford] was in the right position. Bruno [Fernandes] could have swapped with Marcus from the right, Bruno is ineffective on the right. He knows he's going to be. Get Marcus out wide. <br /><br />'Maybe Marcus is carrying something? He didn't want him to stretch his legs down the right-hand side. <br /><br />'Marcus is most dangerous out wide. In the centre, he has to take a touch, beat a man then link play, he's capable but it's not his best position. Getting Bruno in the middle would have given them better shape.'<br /><br />Fellow United great Owen Hargreaves agreed with Scholes' assessment, insisting they never created any meaningful chances in Spain.<br /><br />'They didn't create much from open play, only their goal in the first half,' Hargreaves said. 'He obviously had a game plan, Harry Maguire came on in the second half, hoping they could nick something. <br /><br />'They didn't really create anything. In the first half they played really well – if they had carried on they would hav
