Manchester United legend Paul Scholes is happy with their "cavalier" approach.

Scholes says the 8-2 hammering of Arsenal would not have been achievable if defending was not somewhat compromised - and the 36-year-old likes what he sees.

"This is such a young and vibrant, quick team. We look like we're going to score goals all the time," he told The Observer.

"We look like we'll concede them a bit too often as well. I like the attitude that we're just going to score more goals than they do.

"It's not always great for your back lads and your keeper but we go through games looking like we could score five or six.

"To do that against Arsenal [in the 8-2 game] is just a pleasure to play for a striker or an attacking midfielder."
