The Story in 60 Seconds

Paul Scholes has criticized Manchester United players for conducting what he called "embarrassing" laps of honour following their recent matches. His remarks came after Michael Carrick's squad walked around the pitch to applaud supporters following a 4-4 draw against Aston Villa on Sunday. Fellow former United midfielder Nicky Butt and pundit Gary Neville also expressed strong frustration regarding the repeated post-match gestures amidst the club's poor run of form.

Manchester United currently sits 18th in the Premier League, having won only one of their opening ten matches. The Old Trafford hierarchy is reportedly reviewing Carrick's managerial position ahead of the November international break, with managers including Eddie Howe, Julian Nagelsmann, and Antonio Conte linked to the role. United faces arch-rivals Liverpool in their next league fixture.
