Paul Scholes believes that Man United manager Erik ten Hag 'disrespected' local rivals Man City by thinking his side could go 'toe-to-toe' with Pep Guardiola's star-studded side in their 6-3 thrashing

Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes has claimed that Erik ten Hag 'disrespected' Pep Guardiola's Manchester City side, suggesting that the Dutch manager got it 'badly wrong' against the Citizens.

While the game ended 6-3 on the day, the scoreline was generous to the Red Devils, who were largely outplayed by their hosts at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday as they ended the first-half four goals down.

Scholes, who played over 700 times for United, was fuming as he assessed the team's performance in the derby clash during BT Sport's coverage of United's Europa League match against Omonia in Cyrpus.
