Man Utd legend Scholes slams Kompany after Man City defeat

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has taken aim at Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany.

Scholes feels Kompany was at fault for their Champions League defeat to Barcelona last night.

Scholes, working as a pundit for ITV, said: "Kompany, especially, has struggled and I think he's struggled the last few weeks - he's struggled tonight as well."

On Luis Suarez' second goal, Scholes added: "I think Kompany's at fault here again.

"Barcelona midfield players, they want somebody to come and dive in. Kompany dived in first.

"He got back, but he hasn't got a clue where Suarez is. He hasn't protected the space at the front post."
