Paul Scholes’ son slams Manchester United fans for applauding Erik ten Hag’s side
The son of Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has slammed the club’s supporters for applauding Erik ten Hag’s side following their defeat to Crystal Palace. The Red Devils continued their dismal start to the campaign by collapsing to a defeat to Roy Hodgson’s side at the Theatre of Dreams.
Aaron, Scholes’ son, was in attendance as United suffered another shock defeat. Though there were some boos at the end, most United fans applauded the home side as they made their way down the tunnel. That irked Aaron, who questioned why supporters would applaud the team and labelled them ‘useless c***s’.

‘Who the f**k is clapping those useless c***s off,’ tweeted Aaron before deleting the post. His comments come as pressure continues to mount on Ten Hag, whose side have lost four in the league already this term.
United take on Galatasaray on Tuesday as they look to get their first points in the Champions League group stage. The Red Devils were beaten by Bayern Munich in their opening match.
The result has piled the pressure back on Ten Hag and his team, who have been struggling to find any form in the Premier League this season. With United languishing in 16th place in the table, it’s clear that Ten Hag needs to turn things around quickly if he is to save his job.
It’s not just Ten Hag who is feeling the heat though, with many of his players coming under fire for their performances this season. The likes of Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford have been criticised for their lack of impact on the pitch, while David de Gea has been heavily criticised for his recent errors in goal.
It remains to be seen if Ten Hag can turn things around and get United back on track, but it’s clear that the fans are losing patience with him and his team. Aaron Scholes’ comments are just another indication of how frustrated many supporters are with the current situation at Old Trafford.
