UCL: Scholes slams Man Utd after defeat to Bayern Munich
Former Man Utd star Paul Scholes has slammed the club following their recent 4-3 defeat to Bayern Munich in their first match in the Champions League this season.
Scholes in a statement said Man United are a cup of tea as he knocked Erik ten Hag’s side for lacking concentration against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena.
According to the former midfielder, the Red Devils were soft and weak against Thomas Tuchel’s side.
Speaking to TNT Sports, Scholes said, “They [Man United] have had spells in every game they have lost this season where they have done okay, but that is not good enough. There is a softness and weakness there and once they concede one, you need to say: ‘Come on, in the next five minutes let’s stay in the game’, and before you know it, they score another goal.
“I think this is almost going to be an identical season to last year. They are a cup team. They could possibly win the FA Cup or the Carabao Cup, they are just not at this level yet. I think the summer has hindered them from getting where that next level is and we saw tonight that they are absolutely below this level.”
