Former midfielder Paul Scholes suggested that Manchester United's players ought to have been "embarrassed" following their 7-0 hammering against rivals Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday afternoon.
United, who had beaten the Merseysiders 2-1 in the reverse fixture at Old Trafford back in August, were cut to pieces in a dramatic second half, conceding six times without reply. Cody Gakpo opened the scoring shortly before half-time, giving the home side a 1-0 advantage at the break.
But after Darwin Nunez netted his first and Liverpool's second just two minutes after the restart, the floodgates opened, resulting in Erik ten Hag's side collapsing in dramatic fashion. Gakpo got his second to make it 3-0, ahead of Mohamed Salah getting in on the act to make it 4-0 and then Nunez got his second to increase their lead to five.
