Paul Scholes tells Manchester United to settle for an EIGHTH-place finish (and they're only sixth now!) as he says they are 'unrecognisable', leaving him 'saddened', in another damning verdict from a club legend

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.
