Paul Scholes blasts criminal Manchester United star for what he did during 7-0 defeat to Liverpool

Paul Scholes branded Lisandro Martinez ‘criminal’ for blocking David de Gea during Liverpool’s opening goal in their 7-0 win over Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday.

“I certainly don’t think it helps De Gea,C Scholes said at half time.

“I don’t think he’s quite in line at the point it’s kicked but David can also think the ball might hit him.

“But when he [Gakpo] does hit it, he has gone right past him.

“You see David’s reaction there towards Martinez, he doesn’t quite have a go at him, but I think he should do.

“I think it happened a couple of times, once before with Robertson where he ended up clearing it off the line, he’s going far too deep, he should be getting up the pitch, can he stop the shot or have an effect on the shot rather than get in the keeper’s way.

“He needs to trust his goalkeeper. This is a top goalkeeper we’re talking about, do not get in his way. If anybody gets in the goalkeeper’s way it’s criminal.”
