Paul Scholes believes Manchester United s players took the p*** last season

The Red Devils earned their lowest ever Premier League points total last term as they fell well short of a Champions League place. Under interim boss Ralf Rangnick, the club were in shambles as it appeared that players had either given up or had no idea what they were supposed to be doing. Speaking on The Overlap, Scholes put the blame firmly on the players at Old Trafford, as he stated (as quoted by ): “Unless you’re involved, it’s very hard to tell, it looked from the outside as if players were taking the p*** a little bit. They were doing what they want." "They were going on to the football pitch and being in their own world, doing what they wanted to do rather than doing what was expected of them, or what the manager wanted them to do. The performances just went.” Scholes also aimed a dig at the club's recruitment, as he proclaimed: “Looking back, was it though? Was it really? You’ve got a young player from Germany [Sancho] who you’ve spent a lot of money on. He’s done great in Germany, don’t get me wrong but he was unproven in the Premier League."“Cristiano was proven, of course, but he was 36? Are they great signings?"28 years ago today, Paul Scholes made his debut for Man United
