Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has told his former club to settle for eighth in the Premier League and give potential new manager Erik ten Hag the time to rebuild - despite being sixth.
The Red Devils suffered another major blow in their push to finish in the Premier League's top four with a heavy 4-0 defeat to leaders Liverpool at Anfield on Tuesday.
Jurgen Klopp's side dominated from the off with Luis Diaz, Sadio Mane and a brace from Mohamed Salah sealing a comfortable victory.
The defeats means United now sit sixth in the league table with just five matches left this campaign - with both fourth and fifth place Tottenham and Arsenal having games in hand.
