Manchester United's draw against Galatasaray has drawn criticism for substitute Anthony Martial, who, according to Peter Schmeichel, failed to make a significant impact.
Despite being given over half an hour on the pitch, Martial didn't register a shot, had minimal touches in the box, and only 16 touches throughout the game.
The drop in work rate compared to the player he replaced, Rasmus Hojlund, became a focal point of concern, leaving United to reflect on missed opportunities as they face a crucial clash against Bayern Munich.
Speaking to CBS Sports, the Red Devils' legend made a bold admission:
"When you’re 2-0 up – and it’s not the first time we’re 2-0 up in this tournament – you kill the game. You make sure the other team can’t get into it. You keep the ball, you make sure you don’t make mistakes – and a lot of mistakes were made today.
"And of course you also have to look at players like when Hojlund came off, a lot of the pressure from the very, very front disappeared. The guy (Martial) he (Ten Hag) put in doesn’t do anything, where you had before someone who works really, really hard for the team up front all of a sudden you don’t have that pressure.
"And that gives the other team a lot of opportunities to pass the ball around. So there are many, many things you can look at, but, again, if you score this amount of goals you expect to have more than one point."
