Paul Scholes highlights Man United’s ‘major problem’ after their 1-0 defeat by Bayern Munich… as he blasts ‘selfish’ wingers Antony and Alejandro Garnacho

Paul Scholes has admitted his concerns over Manchester United's lack of creativity, claiming the club has seen a 'real decline in quality' during the absences of Casemiro and Christian Eriksen.

It came after Harry Kane returned to torment the Red Devils and help Bayern Munich beat Man United 1-0, with the England captain playing a perfectly timed pass that allowed Kingsley Coman to cut through Man United's defensive lines and for the hosts could score.

The defeat confirmed the end of United's Champions League campaign for the season, but Erik ten Hag's side suffered further blows during the match, with Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw both leaving the field with injuries.

The Red Devils finish bottom of Group A, having won just one match in Europe so far this season. And after the match, former Man United defender Scholes believed the club are currently lacking creativity, with Rasmus Hojlund, who has scored five goals in the tournament, struggling for service.

“I don't think it was a problem defensively,” Scholes told TNT Sports. So basically we thought our creativity in the middle of the pitch was a big problem today.

The former Man United midfielder claimed United did not give Rasmus Hojlund enough chances to score

Since arriving in the summer, Hojlund has failed to score in the Premier League, despite scoring five goals in the Champions League

'As Rio (Ferdinand) said, if you don't have Casemiro in the team, if you don't have (Christian) Ericksen, there is a huge drop in the team.

'There's no doubt about that, a huge drop in quality.'

Eriksen and Casemiro are just two of a long list of players on Man United's injury list, which also includes Tyrell Malacia, Mason Mount and Victor Lindelof.

During the match, United had five attempts on goal, while Bayern had eleven, with the home side having just one shot on target.

And Scholes admitted his fear lies with his former side's ability to create chances, with Hojlund yet to score his first goal in the Premier League before labeling two of United's players as 'selfish'.

“The big concern for the striker is that we cannot create chances and he has scored five goals in the Champions League,” he said.

'He hasn't scored a league goal, he hasn't had a chance and I don't think he had a chance on Saturday.

'It is a big concern where the goals will come from. Not only do you expect creativity from your wide players Antony and (Alejandro) Garnacho, but they are actually quite selfish players and they are not players who look up and think about scoring their own goals, think about scoring for yourself/

“Obviously they didn't get Rashford that well last year. He was in flying form, but hasn't had that kind of form this year.”

Scholes also added that he feels there has been a real 'drop' in the quality of the squad following Casemiro's absence

Scholes also slammed United's wide players Alejandro Garnacho and Antony for being 'selfish'

Despite this, Scholes praised their captain, Bruno Fernandes, who played a slightly deeper role on Tuesday night.

'I actually thought Fernandes did well tonight in a deeper position. He did that in a few Europa League games last year and was very good in big games.

“So I think he can. Can he keep this up for long? Don't know.

'I think if he and Eriksen play in the team it will bring a bit more creativity and quality. I think Casimiro also adds quality and control.'
