Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has criticised one Red Devils star after watching his performance against Manchester City.
On Sunday, the Manchester derby took place at Old Trafford as United locked horns with local rivals City.
Both teams have endured tough seasons and the match reflected their struggles as neither side managed to impress.

Eventually, the match ended in a dismal 0-0 draw.
Speaking after the match, ex-United star Scholes was left wanting more from Alejandro Garnacho.
He said on Premier League Productions, as per United District: "I think Garnacho is the only threat, but again, we’re talking about a threat when he’s scored once in 25 or 26 games.

"It’s not enough; he needs to be more consistent with his chances. He should’ve scored again today for me, a diving header from five yards out; it should be a goal, and that probably wins the game."
Scholes continued: "We know reinforcements are needed, possibly all across the pitch but especially in forward areas. They look toothless in attack."
Garnacho is one of United's most highly-rated players but has struggled in recent weeks.
So far in the 24/25 season, the young Argentine has only scored nine goals and assisted eight in 47 appearances across all competitions.

Looking ahead to the summer, Scholes hinted that Garnacho could be sold by the club.
He added: "Where’s the money coming from for new signings? We saw those interviews with Sir Jim and they didn’t make good reading. It doesn’t look like Ruben Amorim will get a war chest to go to war with. It doesn’t feel like that.
"I get the impression, and I could be wrong, but I think they might sell the two young players. I think they might sell (Kobbie) Mainoo and Garnacho. Maybe they sell them this summer. The Mainoo one would hurt. They both would. Garnacho came later but Mainoo has been at the club since he was a kid."
