Paul Scholes didn’t hold back on the post-match panel, naming one senior star who he believes is “no longer fit for purpose” at the club
Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes has reportedly delivered a fierce assessment of one senior player following the team’s latest outing, questioning whether the midfielder still deserves to be labelled as world-class.
Scholes was said to be deeply frustrated by what he witnessed during the match, claiming the player struggled with even the most basic aspects of the game. According to the former United star, simple short passes repeatedly went astray, making the overall display difficult for supporters to sit through.
In his reaction after the game, Scholes allegedly suggested he would rather see a younger academy player handed an opportunity instead of watching another full match from the underperforming veteran. His comments reflected growing concerns about the player’s declining impact and whether he can still meet the standards expected at the club.
Known for his straightforward opinions, Scholes reportedly held nothing back as he analysed the performance, insisting he was only speaking honestly based on what he saw on the pitch. His blunt criticism has already sparked debate among fans, with many discussing whether the experienced player still has a future as a regular starter.
