Former "Manchester United" defender Paul Scholes criticized the team led by Louis van Gaal, calling their football style poor.
Despite the fact that the Manchester club is currently in third place in the Premier League, the style of play often disappoints the fans this season. In a Wednesday match against "Burnley," "Man United" players were booed after the first half.
In previous matches, the team was called "Long Ball United" by London "West Ham" coach Sam Allardyce.
"I take no pleasure in saying that I struggle to enjoy watching Louis van Gaal's team," - Scholes wrote to The Independent.
"On Wednesday they beat "Burnley," but in the first half "Burnley" looked much better. Sometimes "United" football looks poor."
"To win against opponents, you need to attack, and when attacking - take risks. In the current team, there are too few players willing to take this risk."
"When I was a United defender, I used to pass the ball forward, and yes, it didn't always work. It wasn't necessarily a golden opportunity for the attackers. They had to take the ball and score goals themselves."
Paul Scholes also noticed that the "red devils" often keep the ball for too long. In addition, the Englishman mentioned that he couldn't understand why Wayne Rooney is forced to play in a defensive position, as Robin van Persie and Radamel Falcao, who have only scored 14 goals together this season, often seem not to know each other at all.
