Furious Scholes Slams Manchester United

Furious Scholes Slams Manchester United

Paul Scholes

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes was left furious after his former side suffered a 2-0 loss against Liverpool on Thursday night, and even labelled the club a "shambles".

The ex-England international, who now works as a TV pundit, lashed out at manager Louis van Gaal, the club's board and its current crop of players.

"United were a shambles," Scholes said on BT Sport after the match.

"At 2-0, they're still in the game, don't get me wrong, but when you're at Man United, I think there's certain standards you have to live up to, and they've fallen well short.

"Manchester United should be competing to win the Premier League and Champions League every season.

"They have spent £300 million and they are sixth in the league. They have ended up in the Europa League after failing in a poor Champions League group. They should be competing with Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

"I hope none of the players comes out saying sorry on Twitter. Stop talking on social media and start playing.

"The last thing I want for Manchester United is to be happy with finishing fourth and winning the FA Cup. That's what Arsenal do."

The Red Devils now find themselves trailing Liverpool by two goals in their UEFA Europa League round of 16 tie, and will need to score at least two goals in the return leg if they are to advance to the quarter-finals of the competition.
