Matthijs de Ligt and Bruno Fernandes applaud the away fans at Villa Park.

Manchester United drew 0-0 with Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday, marking the team's worst start in the Premier League era. This has led to speculation about the future of visiting coach Ten Hag. Manchester United star Scholes had some harsh words for the team, saying that the signings and tactics were a bit of a mess.


Paul Scholes had some harsh words for Manchester United's signings, saying they "rely more on hope than quality." "I think the team could do better, especially in the forward position." We're back to the most successful team, and they've got the ability to score goals. How many goals have we scored? In the 68th minute, Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes hit the crossbar with a free kick outside the penalty area, which was the best goal opportunity for both sides. Anthony then got to the rebound but didn't shoot, and goalkeeper Amy Martinez also missed.


The draw left Emery's team in fifth place with 14 points in seven games before the international break, while Manchester United are in 14th place with 8 points, still seeking their third win of the season.


This was the lowest number of points that United have managed to get in their first seven Premier League games, and it's the lowest number they've had since 1989-90 (seven games), when they finished 13th under Alex Ferguson. That was their lowest league result since he took over.


He added: "It's hard to choose players when you don't have a style of play, don't know how to play, or don't know how you want to play. At Liverpool it's easy to buy players, you know what you have to do. They play 4-3-3 and you can recruit players for that. But when you don't have a style of play, you don't know how to play..."


Manchester United had a dismal start to the season and ten Hag was once again in the spotlight, with all the senior leaders of the team coming to Villa Park. Witnessing a pressure-filled and slightly ugly game. Ten Hag's position is in jeopardy and it's unclear whether he can continue to sit in the head coach's seat.


Summarizing the game, Scholes said: Villa had just beaten Bayern and Manchester United drew with Porto in the Europa League. They were high morale and United... United came to this tough ground under a lot of pressure and this was their chance to get a point. I never really felt like they went there to win the game. It was more of a survival strategy. They tried to do that today. You could tell they might have suffered a bit.
