Manchester United’s former midfield maestro, Paul Scholes, did not mince his words as he lambasted the club’s wingers, Antony and Alejandro Garnacho, following their lackluster performances in the UEFA Champions League clash against Bayern Munich.
Scholes expressed his discontent, pointing out that Antony and Garnacho’s individualistic style of play may be hampering teammate Ramus Hojlund’s productivity, alluding to the striker’s struggle for form and goals this season.
In a disappointing turn of events, Manchester United bowed out of the Champions League after succumbing to a 1-0 defeat against Bayern Munich at Old Trafford. The ineffectiveness of Antony and Garnacho was evident as they failed to inspire the Red Devils to victory.
Addressing the lack of creativity displayed by the wide players in the team, Scholes remarked, “The big worry for me is the centre forward. We can’t create a chance for him. It is a big concern, where the goals are coming from. You expect creativity from your wide players, Antony and Garnacho, but they are quite selfish players.”
Scholes’ candid observation highlighted his frustration with the duo’s failure to prioritize team success over individual glory. Emphasizing their apparent self-centered approach, he added, “They are not players who are looking up; they are players thinking about scoring their own goals, scoring themselves.”
The renowned football pundit’s assessment serves as a compelling indictment of the two young wingers, raising pertinent questions about their contribution to the team’s overall performance.
As Manchester United grapples with this setback, Scholes’ critique resonates as a stark reminder of the importance of selflessness and team cohesion in pursuit of sporting excellence.
