Paul Scholes aims dig at Manchester United pair Jadon Sancho and Antony in Instagram post

Paul Scholes has seemingly criticised Jadon Sancho and Antony on social media after Manchester United's defeat this weekend.

Manchester City beat United 6-3 on Sunday afternoon with hat-tricks from Erling Haaland and Phil Foden. United conceded four goals in the first half of the match and that put the game beyond them, despite a spirited second-half display.

Antony scored in the second half while Antony Martial netted a brace but those goals were nothing but mere consolations.

The inquest into another embarrassing Manchester derby defeat has begun and attention has been drawn to how City exploited United in wide areas, with Sancho and Antony receiving criticism for their lack of defensive work rate from the wing.

Scholes seemingly took a dig at both of those players on Monday morning when sharing a picture of Ryan Giggs and David Beckham on social media with the caption: "Anyone remember when wingers used to help their full-backs?"

Scholes also made headlines last week when criticising the club's transfer strategy. "Was it really?" he said on The Overlap when former teammate Gary Neville said how good last summer looked on paper. "You've got a young player from Germany [Sancho] you've spent a lot of money on, who did great in Germany but he was unproven in the best league.

"Cristiano was proven, of course he was, but he was 36. Are they great signings? And I always think why would a club like Real Madrid let Varane go? There must be something not quite right and if you looked at him last season, he didn’t look right.

"He was always injured, always something wrong with him. As far as the window went, people got carried away with it because of names.
