BREAKING NEWS: “He’s Destroying the Legacy!” – Paul Scholes Exposes the One Player Behind Manchester United’s Downfall.
Paul Scholes has voiced what many Manchester United fans have been quietly thinking for months — that there’s one player undermining the club from within, and it isn’t André Onana, Alejandro Garnacho, or Bruno Fernandes. The former United midfielder believes a different, underperforming star is the real issue causing unrest at Old Trafford, and insists it’s time for the club to move him on when the transfer window opens this summer.
After United’s humiliating 4-1 loss to Newcastle, Scholes didn’t hold back in his post-match analysis. He made it clear that Onana wasn’t the problem, instead pointing the finger at another player who, in his view, has been quietly sabotaging everything the club is trying to rebuild. According to Scholes, this individual has done significant damage to Manchester United’s identity and values, and the club’s board must finally take decisive action.
Although Scholes stopped short of publicly naming the player, sources close to the dressing room suggest he was alluding to a senior figure whose recent performances, questionable commitment, and lack of leadership have been widely criticised behind the scenes. It’s someone believed to be escaping scrutiny because of their status, yet reportedly contributing to internal instability.
Scholes went even further, claiming this player played a role in getting Erik ten Hag dismissed and is now allegedly working against incoming manager Ruben Amorim before he’s even taken charge. For Scholes, the issue isn’t just about form or results — it’s about the deeper cultural rot within the club, with one individual disrupting the very fabric of Manchester United’s dressing room.
His explosive remarks have caused a stir among the fanbase, sparking heated debates on social media as supporters attempt to identify the mystery player. While no one can say for sure who Scholes meant, speculation is rife. Many fans believe it could be one of the club’s high-profile, senior names — figures like Harry Maguire, Marcus Rashford, Casemiro, or Raphaël Varane have all been mentioned as possible culprits.
Rashford, in particular, has faced increased criticism lately, with concerns over his attitude, discipline, and fluctuating performances. Others suggest Casemiro, whose form has dipped this season and who is reportedly unhappy at the club. Either way, the unrest points to a deeper problem than just poor tactics or managerial changes.
What Scholes has highlighted is a systemic issue at United — one where certain players seem untouchable despite falling short of expectations. If the club is to move forward, there may need to be bold decisions made at board level, with the era of protected stars finally coming to an end. Whoever this player is, it seems his time at Old Trafford could soon be up, as pressure mounts and calls for accountability grow louder.
