Paul Scholes names Man Utd player who makes wrong decision 'a lot of the time'

Manchester United secured their place in the Europa League final with what proved to be a comfortable evening in the end against Athletic Club.

The Red Devils won 4-1 at Old Trafford to secure a 7-1 victory on aggregate. Mikel Jauregizar opened the scoring as the hosts took a 1-0 lead going into half time and they continued to pile the pressure on the hosts’ defence in the second half.

However, Mason Mount produced a fine fashion on 72 minutes to settle the nerves as the Red Devils went on to score four goals in 19 minutes to give the Old Trafford faithful plenty to cheer as they now prepare for the final in Bilbao.

United will meet Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the final with both clubs desperate to lift the trophy that will also give them a place in the Champions League next season. Spurs and United have both endured tough seasons in the Premier League and sit well inside the bottom half.

Paul Scholes believes Alejandro Garnacho needs to improve his decision making

With Thursday’s tie poised at 3-1 on aggregate, Alejandro Garnacho was put through on goal but the forward was unable to keep his cool as his attempted chipped finish over the goalkeeper drifted wide of the post.

At half time while analysing the incident for TNT Sports, United icon Scholes said: “I have never seen Garnacho score a goal like this, he is not the player with that kind of guile. With the pace he has got, he should just go around the keeper. We said before the game he gets in brilliant positions, he is great at running through but a lot of the time he makes the wrong decision.”

The miss did not prove to be costly in the end as United finished the game strongly. Garnacho was replaced by Amad Diallo on 63 minutes.

Paul Scholes still a big fan of Garnacho as he fears summer sale

Speaking on TNT Sports ahead of kick off, Scholes was full of praise for Garnacho and outlined his fear that financial rules could see the player leave the club this summer. He said: "I fear with him that we will end up selling him for £50m-£60m for PSR reasons, possibly this summer - it has been rumoured hasn't it.

"I fear he might go somewhere else, he might play in a 4-3-3 and he will end up scoring 25 or 30 goals for somebody. That is how good I think this lad could be.

"Shoehorn him into this system and I think it might be an issue because I am not sure he can play wing-back. I am not sure he is clever enough to be in that No.10 role, I am struggling to find a position for him in this system."

Garnacho was on press conference duty ahead of Thursday’s game and was questioned on his future at United. Chelsea and Napoli were both interested in the player in January.

"As a footballer, you are always going to listen and hear some rumours about the future," the forward said when asked about his future. "But I have a contract here until 2028 so I’m happy here."
