And Scholes was less than impressed by McTominay and Fred in the narrow loss.

“It’s as poor as I’ve seen Manchester United at Old Trafford to be honest,” Scholes said. Premier League Productions.

“You have to admit that Arsenal were very good, but on the other hand you have to expect more from United and the two midfielders especially.

“I said that at halftime if you’re going to get the best of you, the most creative players who can score goals with the ball, then the two in midfield must have some kind of possession and some kind of control, but quality was lacking. in them two.

“They played like central halves, not central midfielders. There was a lack of fighting, a lack of courage, a lack of determination to get balls into the area, to create opportunities like you would expect with 10 minutes to go.

“They ran out of ideas and only had two shots on goal, one of which was Matic on his right foot. It is a disappointing afternoon, but one that they will have to recover from. “
