​Scholes slams Man Utd star Pogba after red-card against Liverpool

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has ridiculed Paul Pogba for his performance in the second half of the 5-0 thrashing against Liverpool at Old Trafford.

United were 4-0 down at half time, when Pogba came off the bench, but his influence in the game lasted less than 20 minutes after he received a straight red card for a poor challenge on Naby Keita.

"To say a disappointing day would be a complete understatement," Scholes said to the Premier League.

"Liverpool had too much quality. I don't think it was a lack of effort from United; I think tactically they were set up in a way where this could happen, and unfortunately it did.

"Paul Pogba coming on, giving a goal away and then getting sent off for a ridiculous tackle sums up United's day."
