Manchester United icon Paul Scholes has branded Mikel Arteta a ‘disgrace’ for complaining to referee Craig Pawson during the four-goal thriller at the Emirates Stadium. The Red Devils were beaten 3-1 by the Arsenal on Saturday afternoon. And that means their hopes of Champions League football are all but over.
Manchester United lost 3-1 to Arsenal with goals from Nuno Tavares, Bukayo Saka and Granit Xhaka enough for the Gunners to take all three points.
And Scholes, speaking on Premier League Productions, has now labelled Arteta a ‘disgrace’ after he complained to referee Pawson before Saka’s penalty in the first half.
“At the time, I thought it was offside,” said the retired midfielder.
“I didn’t really think of the foul, to be honest. That brings into question whether it’s a clear and obvious error, which is the only reason it should go to the VAR.
