Paul Scholes recently expressed his concern regarding Manchester United's wingers, Antony and Alejandro Garnacho. He believes their selfishness is to blame for their poor form against Bayern Munich during the Champions League.
The Red Devils were defeated by the German side 1-0, leaving them out of the competition with a whimper. Throughout the evening, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial were sidelined with illness, leaving Antony and Garnacho to take their places in the side.
Scholes was not impressed with United's lack of creativity in attack, and he showed sympathy towards Ramus Hojlund who was bullied by Bayern's centre-half pairing. He told TNT Sport, "The big worry for me is the centre forward. We can't create a chance for him. I know he has scored five goals in the Champions League but he hasn't got any in the league, he hasn't got a chance tonight and I don't think he had a chance on Saturday [against Bournemouth]."
The former United midfielder continued, "It is a big concern, where the goals are coming from. You expect creativity from your wide players, Antony and Garnacho but they are quite selfish players. They aren't players who are looking up, they are players thinking about scoring their own goals, scoring themselves."
Erik ten Hag expressed his own sympathy for Hojlund after the match, saying he believes their attacking was to blame for his lack of chances. He said, "He has to take this because it's a huge performance from him. It also has to do with our attacking in those games. He has to build on this into the Premier League. That is very good but today he did not create many chances but he had faced a very good opponent."
