Manchester United legend, Paul Scholes, has pointed out six players who need to do better because the team is not playing well this season.
Scholes thinks Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Joshua Zirkzee, Rasmus Hojlund, and Amad Diallo should improve their performance for Manchester United.
He says they are not scoring enough goals.
This comes after the team, led by coach Erik ten Hag, had a 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace in the Premier League.
Speaking on the Overlap fan debate, former England player Scholes said:
“Manchester United is struggling to score goals. They have scored five goals this season, and three of them were in one game against Southampton. This shows that players like Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, and Rasmus Hojlund are not doing enough.”
“Leaving Marcus Rashford out of the game on Saturday was strange. He hadn’t scored in a long time, then he scores three goals in two games, and suddenly, he isn’t playing.”
“Alejandro Garnacho is good, but he’s not perfect yet. We don’t have a fully ready player in the attacking position, except for Marcus Rashford, who has also had a hard time.”
“Bruno Fernandes can score, but we don’t have the main center-forward that we need. Amad Diallo is a bit like Garnacho, not fully ready yet.”
“When you look at Rasmus Hojlund last year, he showed some potential, but I’m not looking at him thinking he will score 25-30 goals a season. Joshua Zirkzee plays well with others, but is he a big goal scorer?”
