Manchester United Legend Criticizes £27M Player After Crystal Palace Defeat
Manchester United legend Paul Scott has openly criticized a £27 million player following the team’s disappointing loss to Crystal Palace at Old Trafford. This marks the first time United has lost to Palace at home in the Premier League, and Scott did not hold back his frustration.
“I won’t hide my honest opinion about him because he’s too horrible and does not deserve to wear this red shirt,” Scott stated, urging manager Ruben Amorim to drop the underperforming player.
The unnamed player had fewer touches than the goalkeeper during the match, raising concerns about his effectiveness on the field. This is not the first time his work rate has been questioned—former manager Erik ten Hag previously called out his laziness before his departure. Despite leaving the club once, he has now returned and is proving to be a liability once again.
Fans have also expressed frustration, with many believing the player’s lack of effort directly contributed to the defeat. While the criticism does not target new signings Joshua Zirkzee or Rasmus Højlund, the pressure is mounting for changes in the squad. Amorim may have a tough decision to make as United looks to recover from this setback.
