Scholes criticises De Gea after Man Utd’s Europa League final defeat

Scholes criticises De Gea after Man Utd’s Europa League final defeat

Premier League
Paul Scholes has criticised David De Gea after his poor display in Manchester United’s penalty shootout defeat to Villarreal in the Europa League final on Wednesday. The Red devils and Villarreal played out a 1-1 draw in Gdansk and after 30 minutes of extra time the match went to penalties. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Every outfield Man United player found the net with their spot kick before Villarreal keeper Geronimo Rulli put the Spanish club in front. De Gea then stepped up but his effort was saved. De Gea has not saved any penalty for United since April 2016 and was unconvincing once again during the shootout against Unai Emery's side. And Scholes believes the goalkeeper's poor record with penalties was already a potential factor even before th...

Premier League
Paul Scholes and Rio Ferdinand applauded Unai Emery for ‘snuffing out’ Bruno Fernandes during Manchester United’s Europa League final defeat to Villarreal.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Fernandes had a quiet evening as Villarreal’s Etienne Capoue was tasked with nullifying the Portugal international in Gdansk. Scholes and Ferdinand reserved special praise for Emery and felt the Spaniard – now a four-time winner of the Europa League – dealt with United’s biggest threat well. ‘Obviously it’s a really disappointing night. I thought it was a really ...

Scholes slams Man Utd star for ‘contributing nothing’ in Roma win

Premier League
Manchester United legend Paul Scholes slammed Fred for his part in Roma’s second goal during the Red devils' 6-2 win at Old Trafford. United got off to a good start in the first leg of their Europa League semi final as Bruno Fernandes rounded off an excellent move to open the scoring in the ninth minute of the clash. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); But Roma were in front at the break as Lorenzo Pellegrini equalised from the penalty spot before Edin Dzeko got a goal from close range. United stepped up their efforts in the second half and a double from Edinson Cavani, along with another Fernandes goal and a late effort from Greenwood secured a comfortable win for Solskjaer’s side. But Scholes was angry with Fred’s defensive contribution in the first half...

Scholes surprised Man Utd duo didn’t start vs Leeds & criticises Solskjaer’s comments

Premier League
Paul Scholes has criticised Solskjaer’s comments after Manchester United’s stalemate with Leeds and said he was ‘surprised’ Pogba and Cavani didn't start. Chances were few in the game, with United forward Marcus Rashford closest to breaking the deadlock with a well-hit free-kick shortly before half-time. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The result brought United's five-match winning streak to an end and means Manchester City have a 10-point advantage at the top of the table with five matches left of the campaign. Reflecting on the draw, Scholes told Premier League Productions: ‘Manchester United tried more than I think Leeds did to win the game which you’d expect. ‘I was surprised Pogba didn’t start the game, surprised Cavani didn’t start the game. It t...

Scholes suggests new role for Pogba after Man Utd win over AC Milan

Premier League
Manchester United legend Paul Scholes believes Paul Pogba could finish the campaign playing in a wider role on the left after his good impact off the bench against AC Milan. The Red devils booked their place in the quarter-finals of the Europa League after a 1-0 victory at the San Siro, progressing into the next stage with a 2-1 aggregate win. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Pogba, who had not played since been subbed off with injury against Everton on February 6, was called upon at half-time with the club struggling. The Frenchman's impact was almost instant, finding the back of the net three minutes into second half of the clash with a good finish to beat Donnarumma. Pogba replaced Marcus Rashford at halftime, taking his place on the left with Dan ...

Paul Scholes makes prediction over future of Man Utd outcast Diogo Dalot

Premier League
Paul Scholes is looking forward to seeing Diogo Dalot back at Manchester United after being impresed with the full-back's display against the Red Devils for AC Milan on Thursday. Dalot is on loan at Milan for the campaign and was able to play for the Italian club in the Europa League last 16 game at Old Trafford. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The match eventually ended 1-1 after Amad Diallo's opener for United before a last minute header from Simon Kjaer gave Milan the advantage in the tie. Dalot was playing on the left wing, as opposed to his normal right-back position, and Scholes wants to see him return to Manchester and challenge Wan-Bissaka for his place. The United legend recognises Wan-Bissaka as a good defender, but Dalot offers more going fo...

Scholes hits out at Bruno Fernandes & names two problem players at Man Utd

Premier League
Paul Scholes claims Manchester United’s struggles in big games this campaign can be traced back to their central defenders, while he criticised Bruno Fernandes for not playing well against Chelsea. United have only one goal against their ‘big six’ rivals in the league this campaign – in a 6-1 defeat to Tottenham – and have picked up only five points from a possible 21 in seven matches. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); That run continued against Thomas Tuchel's side on Sunday, playing out a fourth consecutive goalless draw against one of their rivals, but Scholes believes their attacking issues stem from their defenders, not the forwards. ‘A lot of the problems I see are them two centre-halves and goalkeeper – well, not so much goalkeeper today – but the ...

Scholes disagrees with Tuchel after Chelsea’s stalemate against Man Utd

Premier League
Paul Scholes claims Thomas Tuchel must have been ‘watching a different game’ after the Chelsea boss claimed the draw with Manchester United was full of ‘high quality’. Chelsea and United played out a goalless draw at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. And it leaves Chelsea fifth in the table and Solskjaer's side 12 points behind league leaders Manchester City in second. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); In the first half of the game, United thought they were about to be awarded a penalty after a VAR review appeared to show Hudson-Odoi handle the ball in the area, but referee Stuart Attwell dismissed the appeals after consulting the pitchside monitor. After the match, Tuchel told Sky Sports: ‘It was a high quality game between two very strong teams. We suffered in t...
