Paul Scholes has admitted his concerns over Manchester United’s lack of creativity, claiming that the club has seen a ‘real drop-off in quality’ during the absences of Casemiro and Christian Eriksen.
It came after Harry Kane returned to torment the Red Devils, helping Bayern Munich defeat Man United 1-0, with the England captain playing a perfectly timed pass that allowed Kingsley Coman to cut through Man United’s defensive lines and score for the hosts.
The defeat confirmed the end of United’s Champions League campaign for this season, but Erik ten Hag’s side were dealt further blows during the match, with Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw both leaving the field with injuries.
The Red Devils will finish bottom of Group A having won just one game in Europe so far this season. And after the match, the former Man United midfielder stated that the club is currently lacking in creativity, with Rasmus Hojlund, who has scored five goals in the tournament, struggling for service.
‘I don’t think defensively was was a problem,’ Scholes said to TNT Sports. So actually, we thought our creativity in the middle of pitch was a major problem today.
As Rio [Ferdinand] said when you haven’t got Casemiro in the team, when haven’t got [Christian] Ericksen, there’s a massive drop off in the team.
‘There’s no doubt about that, massive drop off in quality.’
