Manchester United icon Paul Scholes has openly criticized interim boss Michael Carrick following the Red Devils’ 2–1 setback against Newcastle United in the Premier League on Wednesday night.
Carrick witnessed his side fall short at St James’ Park, where a solitary effort from Casemiro proved insufficient to rescue even a draw for the visiting team. Despite pushing forward in search of an equalizer, United were unable to overturn the deficit before the final whistle.
Reacting shortly after the match via Instagram, Scholes — who had earlier expressed reservations about the idea of Carrick being handed the role on a long-term basis at the end of the campaign — did not hold back in his assessment. The former midfielder suggested that the team’s displays across the past four outings have fallen far below expectations under the caretaker’s guidance.
“Michael has certainly got something unique about him… because United have been poor in the last four matches tonight,” Scholes posted, delivering a blunt verdict on the club’s current form.
The defeat has further fueled conversations surrounding tactical decisions, squad cohesion, and consistency levels as the season progresses.
