This is what they need to fix if they want to win the league this season. That’s the only problem they have right now. We have this issues back then under Alex Ferguson but we fixed it. Erik Ten Hag has the right player to fix the issue and he is the only available player that can execute the job”-Paul Scholes slams Man Utd and singles out ‘biggest Manchester United problem’ that reacalled after Liverpool humiliation as gives Erik ten Hag the solution to the problem…

Paul Scholes has pinpointed what he believes is Manchester United’s key issue following their 3-0 defeat to Liverpool, where goals from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah sealed the result.

After the loss, Erik ten Hag came under increased scrutiny, with speculation surrounding his future and bookmakers shortening the odds on his potential dismissal.

Speaking on Premier League Productions after the match, former United and England midfielder Scholes identified midfield as a major weakness for United.

“It was a tough day, but they need to grasp the level they’re competing at. United still have a lot of work to do, especially in midfield. Liverpool completely dominated them in that area,” Scholes said.

He also pointed out the disparity in fitness between the two teams: “What stood out the most to me was how much fitter and more dynamic Liverpool looked. Kobbie Mainoo took a while to settle, Bruno Fernandes wasn’t up to speed, and Joshua Zirkzee needs more game time after being out for some time.”

Scholes raised concerns about United’s conditioning, stating, “The biggest worry for me is that, even this early in the season, the team already looks off the pace. Are they working hard enough behind the scenes to reach the required fitness levels? They didn’t seem sharp enough.”

He also addressed United’s defensive problems: “If a center-back can’t complete a full game, that’s a big issue. It shows the team isn’t fit enough from the start. The defense should be able to stay on the pitch, especially at this stage of the season. While it’s normal to sub full-backs, center-backs should last the full 90 minutes. United have made defensive changes in all three of their opening games. How is that acceptable?”

Scholes dismissed the idea that fatigue from the Euros was an excuse, noting that other teams, including Liverpool, had players involved in the tournament but weren’t struggling with the same issues.

Manchester United will look to bounce back after the international break when they face newly promoted Southampton in their next Premier League fixture.
