Manchester United may have celebrated a historic victory at Anfield, but club legend Paul Scholes has issued a serious warning — urging manager Ruben Amorim to address what he calls a “crucial flaw” in the team before it becomes a bigger problem later in the season.
Speaking after United’s 2–1 win over Liverpool, Scholes praised the squad’s discipline, intensity, and tactical setup but made it clear that certain issues still persist. While he didn’t dismiss the significance of the victory, the former midfielder stressed that Amorim must not let the result mask the weaknesses that could cost the club in future high-stakes matches.
“Winning at Anfield is huge, but it doesn’t mean everything’s perfect,” Scholes reportedly said. “There’s still a gap in this team — something that needs fixing if Manchester United truly want to compete for major titles again.”
Insiders suggest Scholes was referring to the team’s inconsistency in midfield transitions and occasional lapses in defensive organization, particularly when under pressure. Despite the recent improvement under Amorim, these vulnerabilities have been exposed in several games this season.
Scholes’ comments have struck a chord with fans, many of whom agree that while the result was encouraging, sustained success will require tactical evolution and smarter squad management.
For Amorim, the message is clear: enjoy the win, but don’t lose sight of the long-term goal — restoring Manchester United to genuine title contention.
