Paul Scholes ruthlessly dismantled Manchester United’s performance against Southampton in a fascinating face-to-face exchange with Ruben Amorim.
Man United came from behind to beat Southampton 3-1 on Thursday.
Amorim’s side left it late to claim their first league win since December 15 as Amad Diallo inspired his side to victory, scoring a 12-minute hat-trick from the 82nd minute.
But the Red Devils looked lethargic and weren’t at the races for large portions of the Old Trafford fixture.
Speaking after the result on TNT Sports, Scholes spoke to Amorim, where he referenced Man United’s resilient performance against Liverpool at Anfield, which ended 2-2, and their FA Cup win over Arsenal last weekend.
He questioned the lack of enthusiasm against the Saints and put that assessment to the Portuguese manager to which he replied: “It seems like a lack of enthusiasm. [Manuel] Ugarte is late and [Kobbie] Mainoo is late, Bruno Fernandes going outside when the ball is inside.
“One transition and [Leny] Yoro cannot catch the guy – small things push the team behind, and then we get nervous.
“Today was not a lack of enthusiasm, it was a lack of control in the game.”
