Scholes slams ‘sloppy’ Manchester United

LONDON: Paul Scholes criticised Manchester United’s “sloppy” display after their 3-1 loss away to Watford on Sunday.

Former United midfielder Scholes, now a television analyst with BT Sport, didn’t spare his old side. “The quality on the ball was as poor as you’ve seen from a Man United team, and that’s just the way it is at the minute,” Scholes said. “You’re not sure what you’re going to get.

“Rashford is probably the only shining light really and he didn’t have his best game today, but he looked a threat. I just think in possession Man United were really, really poor.

“Individually it wasn’t good enough. In possession it wasn’t good enough. So sloppy, giving the ball away all the time.”
