Paul Scholes singled out Rasmus Hojlund for criticism after Manchester United’s win over Southampton on Thursday, after which he advised the Red Devils players to “take a long hard look at yourselves”.
All except for Amad Diallo, who scored an incredible late hat-trick to give Ruben Amorim’s side an underserved victory over the Premier League’s bottom side
Manuel Ugarte put the ball into his own net to give the Saints the lead at half-time, and he was taken off soon after the break along with Hojlund, after Kobbie Mainoo was substituted in the interval.
Joshua Zirkzee, who replaced Hojlund, made a big difference and has been praised for his ‘massive turnaround’ having been jeered off the pitch against Newcastle and made a scapegoat for their issues in recent weeks.
Hojlund managed just 18 touches (most of them terrible) before coming off and Scholes picked out the striker – who’s scored just 23 goals in 68 games since his £64m move from Atalanta – as being “so poor” for United.
