Paul Scholes had some strong words for Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes after Manchester United's 1-0 loss to Newcastle on Saturday.
The scoreline was perhaps misleading, as Newcastle were utterly dominant and deserved more than one goal. Scholes was particularly angered by Rashford's reaction to being substituted and said to Premier League Productions: "What is he surprised about? I don't get it. He was causing the team more harm than good."
Scholes acknowledged that Rashford had been brilliant last year and has the ability to be a great player. He even said that other players look up to him, like Mainoo and Garnacho.
Scholes also heavily criticized Fernandes, saying: "Bruno is another one. He has fantastic ability - he can score and make goals - but I would love to see what the manager is asking him to do in the dressing room before a game. Where is he supposed to be on the pitch? I see him as a No.10, as it's his best position, but I never see him there. I see him on the left, the right, sometimes he's the deepest Manchester United player. I don't think this is healthy for the team. It upsets the formation and the way of playing. We don't know what the manager is telling him to do, but it looks like he does his own thing on the field."
Manchester United will look to get back on track when they host Chelsea at Old Trafford on Wednesday. Let's hope they can take the win and start getting back on track.
