Placing Victor Lindelöf on the right back in the game against Leicester did not appeal to Paul Scholes.
Lindelöf lined up the right-back in Saturday’s 2-2 game against Leicester, when starter Aaron Wan-Bissaka had to watch the game from the wing due to injury.
The Swedish national team player cannot be said to have had his best minutes in the United kit, and had to leave with an injury midway in the second half due to back problems.

– There must be a better alternative
One who was unhappy with Solskjær’s choice to put Lindelöf on the right back is his former teammate Paul Scholes.
– Lindelöf as a right-back, I don’t think we’ll see him again. I hope I never see him again. There must be a better alternative than that, Scholes tells BT Sport.
At the same time, the former midfielder believes that Solskjær should have started with Edinson Cavani and Paul Pogba, who have shown good form lately, rather than sending them onto the field a good distance from the match.
Pogba replaced Daniel James in the 54th minute, while Cavani edged out Anthony Martial in the fourth quarter.
– I think they improved as soon as they made the changes. I think they let some of their best players start off the bench, Scholes says.

– When Cavani came in he was brilliant, and Pogba also made a big difference. Greenwood was also on the bench and did not go in. But I don’t think United is in a position to refrain from using these players, is the clear message of the legend.
– worries a little
If United are to be a title contender, Scholes believes Solskjær should use fewer players, citing Pep Guardiola’s former Barcelona team as an example.
– If they are going to be a challenger to the league, then they have 12, 13 or maybe 14 players who can do it, and then I get a little worried when you leave them out.

– The best teams play with the same team. Just look at Pep’s team in Barcelona. He never made changes and never benched anyone in the 60 games they played this season. That’s what you want, says Scholes.
If Cavani or Pogba will have the opportunity to start later this Christmas, we will find out on December 29. So Solskjær and company. Wolverhampton.
