"Manchester United" successfully started the new Premier League season on Sunday by crushing London's "Chelsea" 4-0 at home. The two newcomers in defense, Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, looked solid in the match, while Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial shone in attack. "Man Utd" legend Paul Scholes is convinced that this attacking duo can cause problems for any opponent. "If Maguire and Wan-Bissaka look solid in defense, then we just need to deliver the ball to Rashford and Martial upfront, who, in my opinion, can cause problems for all opponents. I don't think it's a bad thing that Martial often leaves his position and finds himself on the left wing. Let's remember Thierry Henry, who started the matches as a forward but constantly found himself on the left wing. I don't think that's a problem. If Martial can become similar to Henry, we agree with that," - said P. Scholes while speaking to "Optus Sports". However, the club legend is a bit worried about the midfield zone, where "Man Utd" lost Ander Herrera this summer, and they still haven't found a replacement for him. "I'm a bit worried about the midfielders. I think Pereira's contribution against Chelsea was lacking. This guy has enough talent, but he is still quite young and lacks a lot of playing experience. I think against stronger teams, midfielders will have problems, so in my opinion, they will need to use a counter-attacking tactic against them. I don't think "Man Utd" is now a team that can compete for ball control against elite teams like "Chelsea" or "Manchester City". I just don't think this team is good enough for that," - added the Englishman.
