Paul Scholes Criticizes Man Utd Players Mainoo and Garnacho in Deleted Post
Manchester United legend Paul Scholes recently took to social media to express his frustration with two young players at the club, Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho. In a now-deleted Instagram post, Scholes criticized the duo for training with their hoods up, stating that it is impossible to train properly in such a manner. Despite his criticism, both Mainoo and Garnacho have been bright sparks in an otherwise poor season for the Red Devils.
Mainoo, who burst onto the scene this year, has already earned a call-up to the England squad ahead of Euro 2024. Garnacho, on the other hand, has been instrumental in front of goal, finding the back of the net nine times in all competitions. These impressive performances have not gone unnoticed, with fans hoping that they can help turn United’s fortunes around.
However, the pressure is mounting on United manager Erik ten Hag as the team faces an uphill battle to qualify for next season’s Champions League. Currently sitting 11 points behind both fourth-placed Tottenham and fifth-placed Aston Villa, United’s chances of securing a top-four finish look slim. Scholes believes that ten Hag’s days at Old Trafford could be numbered, stating that the team’s performance is far from what is expected of a title-challenging side.
The former midfielder also suggested that the club’s new owners, Ineos, may be looking for a change in management. Scholes pointed out that new owners often opt to bring in their own manager, especially when they are unhappy with the team’s current performance. While Scholes did not explicitly state whether he agrees with this potential decision, he believes that a change may be on the horizon for United.
In the meantime, United players continue their preparation for their upcoming match against Bournemouth. The team was seen training hard despite the rainy weather at Carrington. Youngsters Ethan Wheatley and Shea Lacey engaged in a game of head tennis, showcasing their skills and determination. Additionally, Willy Kambwala, who made just his second start of the season against Liverpool, expressed his passion for becoming a rock at the heart of United’s defense.
Ten Hag remains confident in his ability to lead United back to their former glories. Despite narrowly escaping humiliation at the hands of Liverpool, the Dutchman believes that the team has high potential and is capable of achieving great things in the future. However, their recent struggles, including throwing away leads in multiple matches, suggest that a change may be necessary to bring about the desired results.
As United fans eagerly await the outcome of this season, it remains to be seen whether ten Hag will be able to turn things around or if the club will opt for a fresh start. One thing is for sure, though – the pressure is mounting, and the future of Manchester United hangs in the balance.
