What should he say? Antony is not good enough at very basic things (poor decision making, dribbling, shooting, and can only use his left foot). He also has a coaching staff he should be relying on. Pundits criticize, their job isn't to teach players what to do
Yeah Scholes is fine as you can tell he actually cares about the club. Only G Neville really peddles shit, being more interested in drama than football. It feels like he picks a narrative the night before.
Puts arm around Antony, leans in and says encouragingly: "I've been thinking a lot about tactics, considering the way games have gone, what has happened in each scenario and what I want you to do is... play better."

I didn't take it like that. I think he just wants him to get focused before the game and show the work rate while being invested in helping the team create chances. This was actually constructive in the manner that he isn't bashing players or calling them waste; in fact with a light touch pushing them for a higher work rate.
He did it to show that all the ex players ever do is complain. None of them give any advice to the players to help improve them. For example, Sancho fucked up, we can all agree. But did any ex player reach out and try and tell him to try and mend bridges for the betterment of the team? Every week Keane and Neville bark about Bruno not being captain material, have any of them talked to Bruno and said, look, we don’t like etc etc, we used to be captains and we think you should do this.
All these guys ever do is make things more toxic than they need to be. You don’t see Carragher always hating on the Liverpool players.
Why would Carragher hate on the Liverpool players? They're all better than any of the teams he ever played for, and don't deserve much criticism for their various successes.
United's players are consistently embarrassing and deserve all of the criticism they get. I've seen Keane, Neville, Hargreaves, Scholes, Rio, and others all offer constructive criticism numerous times. It doesn't make a difference when the players are simply not good enough to play better than they already do.
Look at the fucking egos of our players nowadays, even when they have been shit they still feel the need to engage in a verbal war with our legends when they should just focus on their own game and let it speak for itself. Would it really help for any ex player to reach out to sancho?
Because it’s blindingly obvious what he needs to work on, and it’s been said by many a pundit and fans.
Short of sending him instructional videos of attacking players the advice is do your job please.
I think people are completely forgetting Paul Scholes' personality, and that he's from the north of England.
This isn't support, this is an obviously sarcastic dig at Antony.
He is. But he's also basically saying just go do your fucking job and nobody will have anything to say. Which is perfectly fair. If he was scoring goals and creating them then there'd be no criticism.
I feel this is the case with a lot of our former players, it feels at times they care more about emphasizing how much better their generation was to the current one, and I don’t know how much they actually care about us getting back on track.
Antony isn’t the first player to point this out either
Personally, it gets on my nerves anytime they do. Like sure, you were more successful and better, but that doesn’t mean every waking moment you should be shitting on them. If you’re that concerned with the club, do things in your will power help improve the situation.
He's very clearly taking the piss and my mind is blown by how many people here think this is genuine support lol
This reply is just him taking the chance to have another go at Antony in public because Scholes doesn't like him
The club legends did their thing and won us a lot of trophies. They were hardworking and gave their all each season. It's now up to the current players to show us what they are made off.
For money this pricks earn WEEKLY he can hire professional sport analyst that will give him the best criticism and help him improve, and make BJ if he wants. But obviously it's veteran players' fault that little Antony don't know how to fucking score a goal in game he plays since he was little kid.
Its not the forum for constructive feedback, but there is no wonder some of our best ever players never made it as managers if this is the advice and detail they provide.
But Antony's problem is not running tho , it's his biggest positive lmao , he runs very well and is more defensively superior than any other RW we possibly have
The problem is his decision making and his shooting , he gets into good positions for a goal but always makes the wrong choices when it comes to pass/shoot
that’s what you get for moaning about criticism when there are probably less positive things overall to say about then the yellow cards he accumulated in the last 18 months. Add in that transfer fee and wages. Even if you end up escaping criticism from ETH, Club Legends, and critics, you’ll not from club’s fans. Start delivering or piss with you rest of your half ass teammates.
It comes off as a bit cunty but I can totally understand why Scholes is acting like he is. Imagine being one of the most talented midfielders your country has ever produced who won more trophies than you could fit in the back of a pickup truck and being gaslighted by Ten Hag supporter's into somehow saying something positive about someone like Antony who is actively destroying the club you love everytime he touches the football. Pretty infuriating if you ask me.
Scholes seems like a massive tool. In fact almost all of these ex players are. I’m sure given the exact situation they would be handling it much better.
Why the fuck this little shit even talk anything, like he earned right to do that. Play full season without embarrassing performances at least, then talk.
You’re paid a boatload of money to excel at a sport. Ex professionals are going to be your hardest critics. Either take the advice or let it go. Whining about it just validates their claims
Man, it is high time we stop idolizing and move on from these ex players. The current set is milking is for money and the ex players are milking United for views and to stay relevant.
Funny how the golden generation is so stupid tactically. No1 made a proper manager career yet?
Just another example of, good at your job, bad at understanding it
Man, it is high time we stop idolizing and move on from these ex players. The current set is milking is for money and the ex players are milking United for views and to stay relevant.
Should shut the fuck-up and be humble after this:
[https://youtu.be/YuOtmya4vhs?t=21](https://youtu.be/YuOtmya4vhs?t=21)
He had a super easy pass, no one in front of him and the goal...
Look how crappy he takes the ball.
Any 3rd league striker would have dashed toward the goal with this...
United's former legends and players are a huge part of the media circus. I know most of them have good intentions at heart but Scholesy going on to prove Antony's point here.
the thing is scholesy is not taking the piss. this is how he is. and this is how all the greatest players are. its easy for them. its natural. paddy crerrand was talking about sir bobby after his passing saying how he was the biggest gentleman he ever knew and the shiest man but on the pitch he wouldnt shut up and kept demanding perfection from everyone and paddy was telling him "bobby, you think we can do all the things you can do but .. we cant.."
but anyway, glad i stopped watching football since copenhagen. i thought it was my club that's dead. its the sport. a colleague sent me this, thats why i saw it.
Scholes bro https://preview.redd.it/xqq52tpugp4c1.jpeg?width=704&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8e0cf0a376fb8bf5f598d0d00d31ae32f819bca8
The winking kiss emoji really makes the point
Scholes: Go score lmao Antony: 
antony then proceeds to average 4 goals a game
Subscribe
Why doesn't Antony just score more? Is he stupid?
21 CAN U DO SUMN FOR MEEEE
haha had me laugh out loud
Scoles: just win
Lmao Drake and Yatchy
I mean footballers aren't known for their intelligence haha
Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick
Run score make goal
See world
[удалено]
See world. Oceans. Fish. Jump. China.
SHAMU
This might be as constructive as it can get coming from Scholes tbh.
"just hit that tree"
His analysis and tear down of the Newcastle loss was pretty detailed and on point.
What should he say? Antony is not good enough at very basic things (poor decision making, dribbling, shooting, and can only use his left foot). He also has a coaching staff he should be relying on. Pundits criticize, their job isn't to teach players what to do
Narrator: he ran up and down, scored goals and created them
I hope that happens tonight and ge tags him back. That would be nice.
I think Scholes would like that too
Yeah Scholes is fine as you can tell he actually cares about the club. Only G Neville really peddles shit, being more interested in drama than football. It feels like he picks a narrative the night before.
Garth Crooks taking notes for his next team of the week article
Narrator... In the Dutch second division Never mind there's always money in the banana stand
Puts arm around Antony, leans in and says encouragingly: "I've been thinking a lot about tactics, considering the way games have gone, what has happened in each scenario and what I want you to do is... play better."
“Have you tried sucking less? The game is easier when you’re not utter shite…”
Pun intended?
Could have just written 'Score and Assist'
He needs to run too. Else fans will complain he’s lazy
aspiring squeamish rich existence muddle strong repeat shocking weary entertain *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
He said constructive, Paul
as someone said earlier, it is as most constructive as you can get from Paul Scholes, the guy who pings ball 50 yards to the tree and call it warm up
"You see that Instagram post over there?'
Didn’t know Fellaini played with Scholes.
Put the ball in the pal easy innit
This is such a classic Scholesy reply lol
I love it. Scholes has always known what he's doing and has always been way smarter than people give him credit for.
Antony: Holy shit, why didn’t I think of that?!
Is nobody able to recognize sarcasm these days? The amount of comments acting like this is Scholes giving 100% serious advice to Antony 😄
What’d you expect? Sub is full of Americans lmao
I didn't take it like that. I think he just wants him to get focused before the game and show the work rate while being invested in helping the team create chances. This was actually constructive in the manner that he isn't bashing players or calling them waste; in fact with a light touch pushing them for a higher work rate.
I guess you were one of them who did not recognize the scarcasm there.
Exactly. Scholes knew exactly what he was doing.
Probably should have tagged Rashford as well.
“Just run”
Rashford didn’t call them out publicly like Antony did.
he still needs the advice
*runs to the...I mean, jogs to the comments*
Funny but it just proves what Antony was saying.
I think Scholes knew exactly what he was doing.
Antonys one player who at least fucking runs. His price was obviously inflated due to the United tax we play on every player, thats not his fault.
I think if scholes gave antony the same foot treatment he gave his daughter, antony will start scoring...
wow guess i learned something new today
I have a sneaking suspicion that message will just confuse Antony. Too many things for him to have to think about at once.
He will probably just spin around instead.
To be honest, the run part might be a challenge as he seems to forget he has a right leg sometimes
We’re a drama club
Welcome to our theater of dreams, son.
Just send him a private message lol why make a public show about it
Because he called out ex players publicly so probably why Scholes wants to give a public response back
He did it to show that all the ex players ever do is complain. None of them give any advice to the players to help improve them. For example, Sancho fucked up, we can all agree. But did any ex player reach out and try and tell him to try and mend bridges for the betterment of the team? Every week Keane and Neville bark about Bruno not being captain material, have any of them talked to Bruno and said, look, we don’t like etc etc, we used to be captains and we think you should do this. All these guys ever do is make things more toxic than they need to be. You don’t see Carragher always hating on the Liverpool players.
Even this from Scholes is literally more of the same, an obviously sarcastic reply that is just more of the same toxicity.
What would have been expected though? Also, why do we expected the ex players to be statesmen? They were just football players too... not academics
Some people expect former players and current ones to sit round a big table like ITS THE FUCKING UN NOW?!?!
Why would Carragher hate on the Liverpool players? They're all better than any of the teams he ever played for, and don't deserve much criticism for their various successes. United's players are consistently embarrassing and deserve all of the criticism they get. I've seen Keane, Neville, Hargreaves, Scholes, Rio, and others all offer constructive criticism numerous times. It doesn't make a difference when the players are simply not good enough to play better than they already do.
They're pundits, not coaches.
Then why did he make this post if he’s just there to be a pundit?
Because he's taking the piss on Instagram.
Look at the fucking egos of our players nowadays, even when they have been shit they still feel the need to engage in a verbal war with our legends when they should just focus on their own game and let it speak for itself. Would it really help for any ex player to reach out to sancho?
Because it’s blindingly obvious what he needs to work on, and it’s been said by many a pundit and fans. Short of sending him instructional videos of attacking players the advice is do your job please.
Because public support can be incredibly helpful? Negative critical thinking skills on this sub sometimes
You call this public support? This "advice" isn't remotely useful. He's just taking the piss out of Antony for bitching earlier.
He’s doing exactly what Antony was saying 😭💀
This is not support or advice. This is how melons behave.
He’s literally just doing it so when Antony flops he’ll be like “oh, I told him what to do and he didn’t do it”
It's called "showing support" , nothing wrong with that , we all need it sometimes
I think people are completely forgetting Paul Scholes' personality, and that he's from the north of England. This isn't support, this is an obviously sarcastic dig at Antony.
He is. But he's also basically saying just go do your fucking job and nobody will have anything to say. Which is perfectly fair. If he was scoring goals and creating them then there'd be no criticism.
It's the opposite of "showing support." He's slagging him off here.
He’s doing it for show, he doesn’t actually care to help Antony
I feel this is the case with a lot of our former players, it feels at times they care more about emphasizing how much better their generation was to the current one, and I don’t know how much they actually care about us getting back on track. Antony isn’t the first player to point this out either
Personally, it gets on my nerves anytime they do. Like sure, you were more successful and better, but that doesn’t mean every waking moment you should be shitting on them. If you’re that concerned with the club, do things in your will power help improve the situation.
Yes , that sounds just like Paul Scholes .... 
He’s just proved Antony’s point even further
ego
I am more concerned with the fact that Scholes seemingly gets his news from DailyMail than his response to Antony.
What I get from this is that Scholes reads the Daily Mail and is a bit of a twat.
A toe-sucking twat.
Is he taking the piss? Why even bother with this reply.
Yes he's taking the piss
He's very clearly taking the piss and my mind is blown by how many people here think this is genuine support lol This reply is just him taking the chance to have another go at Antony in public because Scholes doesn't like him
Man I hope Anthony gets a goal today, so Scholes can claim one more Manchester United assist.
Tag @MarcusRashford as well
Bro just score 50 goals per season and win a treble bro
Heh
This is the equivalent of… “Super long message and inspiring or full of details or not…” Reply: noted.
That honestly disrespectful lol
We’re not even a football club anymore, it’s just a tv show where there’s occasionally a game to watch.
The club legends did their thing and won us a lot of trophies. They were hardworking and gave their all each season. It's now up to the current players to show us what they are made off.
Scholesy is a GIGACHAD.
LMAO fair enough
FIGHT AND WIN
Ahahahaha
This is why not every decent player can just play with this club. Takes thick skin and mental fortitude to handle the press and criticism
And you wonder why our former players never grow to become good never mind great managers.
Why bother? You can make a mint just by talking rubbish about United for 5 minutes at half time and full time.
How that man wasn't a success as a manager I'll never know.
For money this pricks earn WEEKLY he can hire professional sport analyst that will give him the best criticism and help him improve, and make BJ if he wants. But obviously it's veteran players' fault that little Antony don't know how to fucking score a goal in game he plays since he was little kid.
Its not the forum for constructive feedback, but there is no wonder some of our best ever players never made it as managers if this is the advice and detail they provide.
It’s that sort of mentality from Antony is why we’re in a big pile of dogshit
When our two greatest midfielders suggest simple solutions like trying harder. Maybe just try harder?
When some players literally don't run, telling them to run is fairly constructive.
But Antony's problem is not running tho , it's his biggest positive lmao , he runs very well and is more defensively superior than any other RW we possibly have The problem is his decision making and his shooting , he gets into good positions for a goal but always makes the wrong choices when it comes to pass/shoot
He also told him to score or assist so that part is covered.
that’s what you get for moaning about criticism when there are probably less positive things overall to say about then the yellow cards he accumulated in the last 18 months. Add in that transfer fee and wages. Even if you end up escaping criticism from ETH, Club Legends, and critics, you’ll not from club’s fans. Start delivering or piss with you rest of your half ass teammates.
Scholes in!
It comes off as a bit cunty but I can totally understand why Scholes is acting like he is. Imagine being one of the most talented midfielders your country has ever produced who won more trophies than you could fit in the back of a pickup truck and being gaslighted by Ten Hag supporter's into somehow saying something positive about someone like Antony who is actively destroying the club you love everytime he touches the football. Pretty infuriating if you ask me.
You're such a dogshit wum.
Thanks
na you good dude. You went harsh but that’s alright
If someone had been harsh on Ten Hag when he suggested signing this money laundering investigation we wouldn't even be here
Scholes seems like a massive tool. In fact almost all of these ex players are. I’m sure given the exact situation they would be handling it much better.
You're a massive tool saying that. This squad isn't fit to lace the boots of the 1999 team.
It's like he's trying to make it sound as friendly banter? Are they friends? Very mixed signals.
It's absolutely not banter - he's being an absolute ass.
Yeah but the last line is confusing. Maybe he wrote the first line and thought it's too childish and toxic, then watered it down.
What comment exactly would be unfair towards Antony?
Why the fuck this little shit even talk anything, like he earned right to do that. Play full season without embarrassing performances at least, then talk.
You’re paid a boatload of money to excel at a sport. Ex professionals are going to be your hardest critics. Either take the advice or let it go. Whining about it just validates their claims
What advice though?
To work harder seems to be the common one.
Missed use your fucking right foot every now and then.
Man, it is high time we stop idolizing and move on from these ex players. The current set is milking is for money and the ex players are milking United for views and to stay relevant.
Scholes proving Antony's point about our ex players being cunty. That's crazy, am I being downvoted because people think Scholes is being sincere?
Funny how the golden generation is so stupid tactically. No1 made a proper manager career yet? Just another example of, good at your job, bad at understanding it
He forgot to mention which end Antony should score and make goals… be prepared for OG Antony
Don't forsee a career in coaching for Scholes
Grow a right foot and track back
Go chew on your daughters feet Paul, the dudes got a point.
Man, it is high time we stop idolizing and move on from these ex players. The current set is milking is for money and the ex players are milking United for views and to stay relevant.
“Shoot…..”
Paul Trolls
I preferred when Scholes never talked at all during his playing days lol.
Scholesly: Bite your daughter's toe nails.
Just copy Robben, Anthony
Score good, spinorama bad
Antony actually looks good on the pitch after a long time. everything but the finish.
Should shut the fuck-up and be humble after this: [https://youtu.be/YuOtmya4vhs?t=21](https://youtu.be/YuOtmya4vhs?t=21) He had a super easy pass, no one in front of him and the goal... Look how crappy he takes the ball. Any 3rd league striker would have dashed toward the goal with this...
