Paul Scholes Criticizes Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes After Manchester United’s 0-1 Defeat to Newcastle in Premier League Matchday. Manchester United put up a woeful performance in their away match against Newcastle, with only one shot on target throughout the game. With such a lack of opportunities, it’s no surprise that the away team failed to find the back of the net. Andre Onana’s goal was constantly under threаt.
Newcastle’s Gordon scored the only goal of the match in the 55th minute, but if luck had been on their side, they could have scored more. Nevertheless, the 1-0 victory earned Newcastle all three points, propelling them to 5th place in the standings. Meanwhile, Manchester United has dropped to 7th position.
Paul Scholes, the Manchester United legend, expressed his frustration with Marcus Rashford’s reaction to being substituted. He said, “What is he surprised about? I don’t understand. What does he think he should still be on the field for? He is causing more harm than good to the team.”
Scholes also took aim at Bruno Fernandes, saying, “Bruno today was a completely different person. I wonder where he’s playing, where he is on the pitch? I see him as a number 10, that’s his best position where he can pass and score goals.”
“Where was he tonight? He’s never been in that position. I see him on the left, on the right, sometimes he’s the deepest player for Manchester United. I don’t think it benefits the team, it disrupts everything.”
Paul Scholes’ comments highlight his disappointment with Rashford and Fernandes’ performances in the match and their overall contribution to the team.
