Paul Scholes has criticized Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho for displaying subpar conduct at a Manchester United practice.
Despite Mainoo and Garnacho recently excelling under Erik ten Hag’s leadership, Manchester United has only achieved a single victory in their past six Premier League matches, lagging 11 points behind the fifth-ranked Aston Villa.

- Michael Owen names the best football manager in the world
- Neymar named the five players who had more technical skill than him
Scholes expressed discontent when Mainoo and Garnacho were seen wearing their hoods up at United’s Wednesday training session.
The former Man United midfielder shared the picture on Instagram & wrote: ‘Don’t mind hats and gloves but no way can you train proper with your hood up.
‘Standards begin on the training pitch.’
Speaking after Mainoo’s first-team breakthrough at Old Trafford, Roy Keane insisted the club’s more experienced players had a duty to guide the 18-year-old.
‘He’s a smart, intelligent footballer and he can go right to the very top,’ Keane told Sky Sports.
‘The senior players will need to keep him grounded, make sure he learns, but he’s got the composure and we’ve seen that already.
‘Defensively, he can get around the pitch but the kid has a chance, obviously.’
Manchester United is gearing up for their upcoming Premier League match, which will be an away game against Bournemouth on Saturday.
Following that, Erik ten Hag’s team is set to head to Wembley to compete in the FA Cup semi-final, facing Coventry City on April 21.
