Paul Scholes, a Manchester United legend, has accused Mason Greenwood of ‘cheating’ during the club’s 5-0 defeat to Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday.
Greenwood, according to Scholes, ruined Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team by making poor decisions during the defeat to Liverpool at Old Trafford.
The former midfield maestro slammed the 20-year-old’s role in Liverpool’s first goal, claiming that the England striker ran out of position to close down Virgil van Dijk, forcing Man United’s defense to change shape.

Man United was defeated by Liverpool thanks to a hat-trick from Mohamed Salah and goals from Naby Keita and Diogo Jota.
Scholes told Premier League Productions, “Tactically, it was bad today, really bad.”
“On the other hand, players must have some level of common sense.”
“You think about Mason [Greenwood] going to shut him down in the first place, that was almost cheating.”
“He knew he wasn’t going to get the ball, and he knew it appeared as if he was going to close him down, but he knew he’d just pass it and he wouldn’t be able to do anything.”

“It’s almost a cheating way of sprinting to him; they pass it, and he takes a short walk back because he feels like he’s done his part.” But he hasn’t done his part; he’s ruined the entire team; [Aaron] Wan-Bissaka is forced to come out, [Victor] Lindelof is forced to play right-back, and then there’s all the space in the middle.
“All of a sudden, because Mason wasn’t doing his job properly, the team was attacking, and Salah put Keita in when he could’ve put Alexander-Arnold in, or Robertson in.” The way it went down was ridiculous; sometimes players need to use their common sense.”
