Ronaldo’s alarming slump in form worrisome as Scholes slams United team
United have drawn 1-1 three times in a row after leading, if you include their FA Cup penalty shootout exit against Middlesbrough
Cristiano Ronaldo has failed to score in six games for Manchester United - but it's not just his form in front of goal that makes for grim reading.
Manchester United's 1-1 against Southampton on Saturday saw Ronaldo somehow fail to score an open goal and have an all-round shocker.
Across the entire 90 minutes Ronaldo only managed to muster fourteen passes of the ball.
His heat map was incredibly bare too, with Ronaldo struggling to keep up to grips with a fast-paced contest at Old Trafford.
Claims that Ronaldo has told his nearest and dearest he is feeling his age could be the explanation for his lack of involvement.
Just 33 touches across the entire 90 minutes go some way to proving how hard he found it hard to get hold of the ball.
The 37-year-old usually loves taking defenders on, but a meagre two dribbles of the ball against the Saints show he's now less confident about beating his man.
Ronaldo losing the ball three times also suggest he's finding it hard to retain the ball.
Meanwhile, Paul Scholes slammed Manchester United for lacking commitment and being 'too easy to play against' after Southampton fought back to draw.
Old Trafford legend Scholes claimed it's 'glaringly obvious that the players do not want to put a shift in for this club, which is crazy really'.
Ralf Rangnick saw his side fade to a draw yet again after leading against Southampton.
United have now drawn 1-1 three times in a row after leading, if you include their FA Cup penalty shootout exit against Middlesbrough.
This time Saints striker Che Adams neatly cancelled out Marcus Rashford's simple opener.
And ex-England midfielder Scholes 'feels sorry' for interim chief Ralf Rangnick because of the Red Devils' lack of effort.
He told BT Sport: "These Manchester United players do not want to do the ugly side of the game.
"There are a lot of very good players in that team – you could name every one of them.
"But with talent you have to work hard as well. another aspect of his game he's normally so good at.” Said Scholes.
