Manchester United legend Paul Scholes singled out three Red Devils players following their 3-0 defeat to Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday.
The players are Bruno Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo, and Joshua Zirkzee. Scholes said that Fernandes was sluggish, Mainoo took time to get going, and Zirkzee needed game time.
Erik ten Hag’s side was defeated at Old Trafford as Liverpool took all three points, thanks to goals from Luis Diaz (2) and Mohamed Salah.
“The biggest thing I noticed from being pitchside and looking at the players is Liverpool looked fitter and more athletic,” Scholes told Premier League Productions.
“Mainoo took time to get going; Bruno Fernandes looked sluggish; Zirkzee needs game time as he hasn’t played.
“That was the big thing that struck me. We are only early in the season but there are things that worry me – are the team working hard enough behind the scenes to be as fit as they should be? They just didn’t look fit enough.”
