Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has laid into goalkeeper David De Gea after the club's Europa League final loss to Villarreal.

United drew the game 1-1 and lost 11-10 on penalties, with every outfield player on both teams scoring a spot kick.

De Gea did not save a single penalty, and it was his spot kick that opposing keeper Geronimo Rulli saved to win the game for the Spanish side.

"Once you get to penalties anything can happen, we know that," Scholes told BT Sport.

"I always feel a little bit worried being an Englishman that we'd be on the wrong side of it.

"But the penalties, you have to say… David… we spoke about his record before it, he didn't look like saving a penalty.

"They [United] got a little bit lucky with Luke Shaw's penalty as well."
