Paul Scholes has hit out at Manchester United's attacking players after another woeful performance in Saturday's 2-0 defeat at West Ham.
United failed to score for a fourth consecutive game in another toothless attacking performance, allowing the Hammers to win comfortably. Alejandro Garnacho missed a golden chance in the first half and Rasmus Hojlund was on the fringes of the match before being hooked in the 54th minute.
