MANCHESTER UNITED legend Paul Scholes slammed Jadon Sancho and Antony’s performance in the derby against Manchester City.
United were thrashed 6-3 by their fierce rivals at the Etihad following a hat-trick by Erling Haaland and Phil Foden in a poor display by the visitors who were 4-0 down by half-time.
Scholes took to Instagram after full-time and shared a picture of fellow greats Ryan Giggs and David Beckham from back in their glory years.
The legendary midfielder appeared to be taking a dig at wingers Sancho and Antony for not helping Tyrell Malacia and Diogo Dalot respectively at full-back.
Scholes posted: “Anyone remember when wingers used to help their full-backs?”
Giggs and Beckham stood out for their attacking prowess but also offered tremendous support to Denis Irwin and Gary Neville respectively at the back.

Dalot and Malacia were both booked by the 23rd minute and a lot of City’s attacks came down the flanks.
United manager Erik ten Hag had the option of bringing in one of the best ever players to cover the flanks up front in Cristiano Ronaldo.
However, Ronaldo remained on the bench throughout the entirety of the Manchester derby “out of respect”.
Ten Hag explained: “I didn’t bring him on out of respect for his big career.

“And the other thing, there was then the advantage I could bring Anthony Martial on.
“He needs the minutes but I don’t want to point it out like that.”
