After the draw conceded at home against Southampton, the former glory of Manchester United Paul Scholes let loose on the organization of the Red Devils, far from being respected according to him: “look at United, they were everywhere. At one point McTominay was left alone in midfield, then it was Pogba left alone in midfield. I don’t know where Bruno Fernandes played. He is everywhere on the field. The two wide players, for me, they didn’t work hard enough. (…) This team often backs down and it’s so easy to play against them.
The former English international (66 caps, 14 goals) also spoke about United’s performance after the departure of Norwegian coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer last November: “There is a lack of interest now. It’s been seven bad days, it’s been really six or seven bad months. The season was not good enough – the dismissal [d’OGS] was going to happen. We all knew it, we all felt it but where was the plan? It’s Man United, they should have the best of everything.”
