Paul Scholes Critiques United After Southampton Win

In a dramatic turnaround, Manchester United overcame a poor performance to secure a 3-1 victory against Southampton, thanks to a late hat-trick by Amad Diallo. Despite the win, Paul Scholes criticized the team's lackluster display for 80 minutes, emphasizing that they were significantly outperformed by the league's bottom club. Scholes highlighted that Southampton showcased better tactical and technical play, and he felt United's players, especially Rasmus Hojlund, needed to reflect on their performance. Diallo's heroics were essential in rescuing United from embarrassment after they fell behind due to an own goal by Manuel Ugarte. The victory lifted United to 12th place in the Premier League, but Scholes stressed that the overall performance was unacceptable against a struggling side. His comments reflect ongoing concerns about United's form and the need for improvement moving forward.
