Manchester United legend is worried about the team's midfield

After Manchester United lost today against Brighton & Hove Albion in the first game of the season, a lot of fans and former players have shown and expressed their concern about the team’s performance in Erik ten Hag’s debut as the ‘Red Devils’ new coach. Certainly, this defeat exposed some of the squad’s biggest problems.

Paul Scholes was asked about the game and he admitted that the midfield really is a problem: “McTominay was always trying to run with the ball, ridiculous. The quality in the middle of the pitch was really poor. I was happy he did not get sent off, but I think he was slightly lucky. Pass it to you best players". It's not that difficult”.
