Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has slammed Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes after defeat at Newcastle.

Scholes says United have "too many lazy players" to be successful.

“Rubbish. They're a poor football team at this minute," Scholes told Premier League Productions.

“Those results they've had recently are misleading.

“Too many lazy players on the football team - you can't get away with that.

“Going to these places, the first thing you do is work hard. You can see the joy that Newcastle are getting down both sides and feel sorry for the full backs."

On Rashford's reaction to being substituted, Scholes also said: “What is he surprised about? I don't get it.

“What is he thinking he should still be on the pitch for? He was causing the team more harm than good.

“Marcus last year was brilliant and he's got ability, there is no doubt about that. But when you decide to walk back like was, and he comes off and behaves like that, I do not think it's good for the team.

“And he's one of the most experienced players now. He's a player that players look up to. Mainoo looks up to him. Garnacho looks up to him."

On Fernandes, he also said: “Bruno is another one. Look, he's got fantastic ability, he can score a goal and make a goal, but I would love to be in the dressing room before a game and see what the manager is asking him to do.

“What position is he asking him to play? Where are you supposed to be on the football pitch?

“I see him as a No.10, it's his best position as he can play a pass and he can get a goal.

“Where was he tonight? He was never in that position. I see him on the left, the right, sometimes he is the deepest Manchester United player, getting the goal off the goalkeeper.

“I don't think that is healthy for the team. It upsets the formation and it upsets the way of playing.

“We don't know, the manager might be telling him to do it, but it looks like he goes out and does what he wants on the field."
