Paul Scholes has warned Erik ten Hag that he and his squad will have to get used to a relentless fixture schedule if Manchester United are to start winning trophies on a regular basis again.
Ten Hag saw his side canter to a 2-0 win over Everton on Saturday afternoon, but the result was soured by an injury to Marcus Rashford, who limped off the pitch with what appeared to be a groin issue in the final minutes of the match.
Reacting to Rashford's setback after the game, the Dutchman furiously tore into the Premier League over the congested schedule. He told BT Sport: "We have to wait [on Rashford's injury], it doesn't look good. Once again it's due to the schedule, you can't play three games in six days. We have to protect our players.
