Legendary Paul Scholes strongly criticized Manchester United.

Manchester United lost 0-1 in the 14th round of the 2023-2024 English Premier League at St. James' Park in Newcastle, England on the 3rd.

He faced a crisis from the 6th minute of the first half. Tino Livramento crossed past Marcus Rashford, but Scott McTominay managed to stop it. Andre Onana then failed to handle the corner perfectly, and Diogo Dalo managed to clear it in front of the net.

The first chance came in the 11th minute of the first half. Alejandro Garnacho, who received a through pass from Bruno Fernandes, connected a left-footed shot, but the opportunity was canceled as Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope was blocked.

This was United's only chance in the first half. Manchester United did not have a significant chance, and rather, the dangerous situation continued, with Kieran Trippier's free-kick hitting the post and barely avoiding a point.

In the second half, Manchester United eventually lost a point. In the 10th minute of the second half, Trippier's sharp grounder cross, which went out of the overlap from the right, came up, and Anthony Gordon, who was digging into the center, calmly pushed it in.

It's not without good news. Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope was unable to play in the 41st minute of the second half due to an injury. However, Manchester United failed to create an equalizer by committing an offside foul in the attacking chance, and eventually lost 0-1 to Newcastle.

From the beginning of the game, United gave Newcastle the lead all the way. The ball possession rate was also pushed to 58-42, and the shooting was a whopping 13-3. The only numbers Manchester United had higher than Newcastle were fouls, saves and goal kicks. 토토사이트

Team Legend Scholes strongly criticized the poor performance. Scholes, who plays on the British "Sky Sports" panel, said after the game, "It was a trash game," adding, "The side players did not play hard." That was especially true of Rashford. His attitude was not good," he said.

Manchester United drew 3-3 with Galatasaray SK in the fifth group match of the UEFA Champions League on the 30th of last month even after scoring two goals in the first half. Nevertheless, it has maintained its upward trend, recording 5 wins and 1 loss in the last 6 games of the league.

However, Manchester United fans could not hide their anxiety even after winning. The reason is performance. Manchester United also won 3-0 against Everton FC in the 13th round, but managed to overcome several losing points.

Scholes said, "Recent league performances have deceived a lot of people. "There are too many lazy players in the team, and the first thing to do is to work hard," he said.

Manchester United fell to seventh place in the league, failing to close the gap with the leader Arsenal FC with eight wins, six losses and 24 points. Newcastle jumped to fifth place with a win over Manchester United.
