Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel let rip with scathing criticism of his latest successor between the posts following narrow victory over Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
The Red Devils were dealt two shock blows within the first four minutes, as Taiwo Awoniyi and Willy Boly hit in quick succession past Andre Onana at Old Trafford to take his goals conceded tally to four in three games.

It looked set to be another tough afternoon for the hosts, who had gone down in their previous clash against Tottenham; but they were eventually able to steady the ship.
Christian Eriksen and Casemiro restored parity at 2-2 before Bruno Fernandes seized the opportunity to take the lead with 14 minutes remaining, sealing victory for the relieved Reds.
'Onana made it easy!'
But while they may have grabbed three points, Onana in particular was targeted for his shaky goalkeeping.
"I honestly couldn't believe what I was seeing for the first goal," Schmeichel told Premier League Productions.
"So many mistakes and so much went wrong.
"There's so much space left behind them, Rashford is the last man, doesn't win the tackle and Onana makes it easy for Awoniyi.
"Then it's 1-0 and 25 seconds after the restart, [Willy] Boly doesn't move and just heads it in.
"That's two home games for Man Utd now, they've won them both but there's so many things not working. It's a good three points but you expect Man Utd to keep going and not to be hanging on at the end. It worries you a little bit."
