‘I worry to death about him’: Scholes admits he’s still not convinced by one nerve-inducing United player

Paul Scholes certainly isn’t the easiest man to please in football, and he’s voiced his concerns for Manchester United as they enter their third season with Erik ten Hag at the reins.

The club legend joined this week’s instalment of The Overlap Fan Debate ahead of the new Premier League campaign kicking off next Friday – although for United, they get their term underway this Saturday with the Community Shield Final.

Nevertheless, Scholes addressed a handful of apprehensions he holds about the current crop of players – one being between the sticks.

Andre Onana is one Red who divided opinion from early on in his United career. But, by the end of his debut term, had turned a large portion of his doubters into supporters. The side’s unprecedented injury crisis forced him to operate behind an ever-changing backline, which, by the final few matches, saw midfielder Casemiro having to deputise in central defence.

What Scholes said about Onana

“I still worry about the goalkeeper,” Scholes told the panel. “He’s a big concern for me. Even watching the pre-season games, a couple of goals he conceded against Liverpool… I worry to death about him.”
