Manchester United have faced plenty of criticism in recent weeks for failing to play attractive football.
Former midfielder Paul Scholes believes Manchester United 's lack of fluidity so far this season stems from Erik ten Hag being unable to deploy his preferred midfield system .
However, injury issues, both in midfield and elsewhere, have derailed Ten Hag's hopes of implementing a consistent system. Nevertheless, Scholes believes the United boss is failing to deploy the midfield system he wants to because he may be spooked by what happened against both Manchester City and Liverpool last season.
"I think they have to sit deep, especially the other night when they started with Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans; they're never going to out-pace anyone and will get done in behind.
