Former player Paul Scholes has called out one Manchester United player for his poor performance during the club's 1-1 draw with Chelsea at Old Trafford.
In his first Premier League match as interim manager of United, Ruud van Nistelrooy welcomed Chelsea to Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.
Despite a penalty from Bruno Fernandes putting the hosts in the lead late in the match, the points were split after a goal from Moises Caicedo equalised the match.

And after the match, former player and pundit Scholes has spoken out about one player for their lacklustre performance during the huge match.
Speaking after the game, the ex-midfielder criticised United winger Marcus Rashford for his failure to capitalise on a chance presented to him at the end of the first half.
“I expect him to do better,” Scholes told Premier League Productions when reacting to a clip of the moment.

“I think he is trying to make the goal look better by going high into the roof of the net. It is quite a simple side-foot volley from seven yards.
“All he has to do is keep it down."
Had Rashford put away the chance, he would have opened the scoring and put the hosts ahead, potentially changing the outcome of the match.
Instead, it was Fernandes who scored the first goal as he put away a penalty after striker Rasmus Hojlund was fouled in the box.

But just five minutes later, Chelsea midfielder Caicedo equalised with a powerful shot just outside of the box, locking the two sides in a stalemate until full-time.
In 10 Premier League matches, the Red Devils have found the back of the net just nine times, a concerning issue that Scholes argues must be addressed by new manager Ruben Amorim.
“It is something the new manager has to address,” Scholes continued. “They have had chances this season. It has to get better.

“The lack of goals is a problem. We have one centre forward who we are not quite sure about. He [Hojlund] is a young lad but can get 20.25 goals? He looks more like a 10 to 15 man.
“Zirkzee who they brought in for over £30million hasn’t got up and running yet. Where are the rest of the goals coming from?
"So the biggest job he [Amorim] has is to find 70-80 goals to elevate them to where they should be.”
