two players on the receiving end Scholes‘Criticism is Scott McTominay and Fred. The midfield duo failed to control the game and were bullied by Graham Potter’s side.
United were two goals behind at half-time after Pascal Gross scored twice in ten minutes.
Legend of the Red Devils Scholes Call their first-half performance “chaos.”
Scholes Telling Premier League Productions: “It was a shocking start for United, the first half was really chaotic.
“There were signs from the first few minutes that it was going to be bad.”
The former England midfielder then lashed out McTominay and Fred.
He added: “McTominay Always trying to run with the ball, ridiculous. The quality of the midfield is really poor.
“I’m glad he wasn’t sent off [for a high challenge] But I think he was a little lucky. Again, he runs with the ball, absolutely ridiculous. This is likely to be a red card. The quality of the midfield is far from good, but we have seen both players perform over the past few years.
“With Fred and McTominayhe [Ten Hag] Will have to choose just one of them, but even one might be too much.
“Fred always loses the ball, McTominayTried to keep running with the ball and then lost the ball. Pass it on to your best players! It’s not difficult. In a day like today, it’s a crime. ”
After the game, Ten Hager expressed his disappointment with the result.
He says sky sports“It’s definitely a setback, a real disappointment, but we have to deal with it. I knew from the beginning that it wasn’t easy, it was a process, it took time, but we didn’t have time. We have to win the game, we should Do better.
“I analysed it and it was unnecessary. We gave up too many easy balls and the organisation was a big mistake. That’s not how we succeeded, we made it clear how to deal with certain situations when we came in. But It happened and we have to analyze it and learn from it.”
“I’m not satisfied, not at all” 😤
