Paul Scholes has labelled Edinson Cavani's final season at Manchester United as a "disgrace".

The Uruguayan penned a one-year extension to remain at Old Trafford but was largely ineffective in his second season at the club. He silenced the doubters in his debut campaign, scoring 17 times. However the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo hampered his ambitions and he was very much a squad player.

That frustration sometimes came across in his performances and the former PSG man only notched on two occasions. He had to be talked into staying midway through the season by Ralf Rangnick, but he decided to withdraw from certain games - something Scholes has taken issue with.

He told Premier League productions: "Cavani I think was a disgrace this year, he hardly ever played. He pulled out of the Middlesbrough game because he had to travel back from wherever he was. Funnily enough, since that Middlesbrough game I think I heard last night United have won only five out of 18 games or something since then.

"It’s been embarrassing, this manage [Erik ten Hag] now needs backing. Who’s going to help him do that? The club upstairs is still a bit of a mess, we don’t really know." Cavani's exit further adds to the forward woes at Old Trafford with options seemingly limited.
