MANCHESTER – United manchester lost 1-0 at home to Arsenal at Old Trafford on Sunday, November 1, 2020. Man United legend Paul Scholes assessed that two Red Devils midfielders, Scott McTominay and Fred played poorly so that his former club will not earn all the points.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer started the match using a 4-3-3 or 4-1-2-1-2 diamond formation. The Red Devils midfield is occupied by Bruno Fernandes, Paul Pogba, Fred and McTominay.
However, Arsenal’s midfield trio, Bukayo Saka, Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny, played well. They dominated during the first half.

In the second half, disaster struck for Manchester United. Pogba made a late tackle to Héctor Bellerin in the box, resulting in a penalty for the Arsenal men. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who advanced as executioner, successfully broke into Man United’s goal guarded by David De Gea.
However, assessing the cause of Man United’s defeat to Arsenal did not fall to Pogba. He claims that the poor performance of Fred and McTominay was the cause of the Red Devils being defeated by the Gunners.
“Honestly, this is Manchester United’s worst performance at Old Trafford,” Scholes told Premier League Productions, quoting Metro, on Monday (11/2/2020).
