Paul Scholes has criticised one Manchester United star after seeing what he did against Athletic Club.

On Thursday night, United arrived at Old Trafford with one foot in the Europa League final after their 3-0 first leg victory in Bilbao.

After falling behind to Mikel Jauregizar's stunning strike in the 31st minute, United moved up the gears in the second half.

In the end, the Red Devils came away 4-1 winners, thanks to a brace from Mason Mount and goals by Casemiro and Rasmus Hojlund.

United will now take on fellow Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur in the final, which will take place at the San Mames in Bilbao on May 21.

Speaking during the half-time interval on TNT Sports, United legend Scholes was far from happy with winger Alejandro Garnacho after he missed a huge chance in the first period.

The Argentine was put through on goal with just the keeper to beat. However, he went for a cheeky chipped finish which ended up going wide.

Scholes said: "I’ve never seen Garnacho score a goal like this. He’s not a player with that sort of guile for me. The pace he’s got there, he’s just got to go round the goalkeeper.

"There’s an acre of space there to the right-hand side of him, the ‘keeper will never get anywhere near him, just hit it into an empty net."


He added: "I've never seen this type of finish from him. We said before the game, he’s brilliant running through, he gets in great positions.

"But sometimes, or a lot of the time, he makes the wrong decision. I think he’s done that there."

Overall, it was a disappointing evening for Garnacho as he was taken off in the 62nd minute, replaced by Amad Diallo.

Reflecting on the match, United boss Ruben Amorim said: "In the moments, I'm just worried about the next game, to try to manage everything, not to get injuries for the final.

"But again, we need to win it. If we don't win it, it's nothing, it means nothing for us, so let's see."
