Paul Scholes and Gary Neville, former Manchester United gamers, voiced their dismay over their former membership’s efficiency following a 2-0 Premier League loss to West Ham United on Saturday below Erik ten Hag’s administration.
West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus scored second-half targets on the London Stadium, condemning United to their thirteenth defeat in all competitions. This marks their most losses at Christmas since 1930 after they had been relegated from the highest flight.

They have solely 18 league targets in as many matches, with solely bottom-club Sheffield United having scored fewer. In their 18 league video games, United have failed to attain in seven.
“There is no threat to the team. This is a very patched-up team, you have to say,” former midfielder Scholes instructed TNT Sports. “You spend a lot of money on players, expecting a lot more from them. It’s not happening for (Marcus) Rashford either. The easiest thing to coach in football is defending, the hardest thing is to teach them how to score goals. That has to come from the players. It is seriously lacking. It’s getting embarrassing; creativity is the big problem.”
Ex-defender Neville criticized United’s inconsistency, telling Sky Sports: “It doesn’t surprise me at all. What we’re seeing from this team, under any manager in the last seven or eight years, is pretty much the same. You can’t trust them; they will let you down. They give you a glimmer of hope, and then they go and lose a game they shouldn’t lose. We’re watching an inconsistent bunch. Inconsistency is a really bad trait, in all walks of life.”
United will host third-placed Aston Villa in a league conflict on Tuesday.
