Van Der Sar blast defence
|
Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar has rapped his defenders after their narrow 3-2 win over Celtic on Wednesday night.
"It was not a good performance by us against Celtic and we made mistakes, especially at the back," Van der Sar said. "It is fair to say they probably surprised us a little bit with their attacking play, but I think we contributed to their success with our defending.
"It wasn't up to standard and I don't think our concentration was as good as it should have been. Little mistakes crept in when they shouldn't have at the back. We are not happy about it but, luckily, we got away with it. But if we want to progress in the competition, we have to cut out those mistakes because other teams will punish us even more."
