Manchester United’s iconic former midfielder Paul Scholes has criticised Declan Rice’s overly emotional approach to matches, which plays into a wider perception of Arsenal’s fragile title tilt.
Rice has been one of the division’s top performers this season yet made an uncharacteristic error in the first half of last Sunday’s north London derby. After gathering his teammates together in a huddle following Eberechi Eze’s opener, the England international demanded “composure” and calm—all of which he failed to deliver when presenting Randal Kolo Muani with the equalising goal 24 seconds after the restart.
