Kenya Police fail to make chances count as late Lawrence Luvanda's strike spares Tusker the blushes
Kenya Police thought they were in control of the tie until a Lawrence Luvanda strike by Tusker helped the Brewers salvage a 1-1 draw on Sunday.
Speaking on SuperSport, Scholes lamented that United resembled an “uncoached team,” lacking clarity and purpose in their play. “You don’t know how they’re going to play,” he stated. “They look flat and dead, almost as if they don’t know what to do on the pitch. That can only stem from the training ground.”
The defeat leaves Manchester United languishing in 12th place in the Premier League, a far cry from the club's ambitions.
Scholes emphasized the importance of establishing a clear playing style, contrasting United’s situation with Tottenham’s under new manager Ange Postecoglou, who has quickly instilled a recognizable approach.

Kenya Police seek put bitter Confederation Cup exit aside by piling more misery on leaky Tusker
Kenya Police will be hoping to get their league season off to a good start following their Confederation Cup exit by exploiting Tusker's defensive lapses as KCB hope to maintain their early momentum against Ulinzi.
“We’re two and a bit years in now at United, and we still don’t have that,” he noted, highlighting a troubling lack of progress.
Scholes also directed criticism at United's summer transfer strategy, specifically targeting De Ligt, who joined the club for £43 million. He questioned whether the Dutch defender was a significant improvement over Harry Maguire, who has seen limited playing time this season.

Gor Mahia make major statement of intent as they thrash Mathare United to start title defence in style
Gor Mahia showed that they are still the team to beat when they put aside their Champions League disappointment to thrash Mathare United in their FKF Premier League opener.
“When you bring players in, you expect them to be a lot better than who you’ve already got,” Scholes asserted. “But I don’t see that with De Ligt. There’s no big difference.”
With the pressure mounting, Scholes urged United's experienced players to step up and stop making excuses. “These are players who have been brought in for a lot of money,” he said. “They need to find a way to play and give us something to believe in.”
