Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes expects more from Cristiano Ronaldo and Harry Maguire and change the attitude within the dressing room. Ronaldo and Maguire are two of the most senior players in the United squad along with David de Gea and Bruno Fernandes.
Scholes believes that it is the responsibility of senior players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Maguire to guide the youngsters coming through the ranks. Despite not having the best of the season, Harry Maguire is still Manchester United's captain. Scholes, therefore, expects the England international to show some leadership qualities.
Speaking to Premier League Productions (via the Express), Paul Scholes was quoted as saying the following:
"I remember that [Ronaldo] interview and you could see he was clearly angry with the attitude of the younger players. That's where the likes of him, the likes of Harry Maguire, they need to step up in the dressing room and explain whatever they're doing in training, what's happening on the training ground, just isn't good enough."
He added:
"The culture of the football club is wrong but it's up to these experienced players to make sure the younger players are doing that. That's why I say authority comes into it."
Manchester United have some exciting youngsters coming through their youth setup at the moment. The likes of Hannibal Mejbri, Shola Shoretire and Alejandro Garnacho have all played first-team games this season.
The Red Devils have previously produced some great players who forced themselves into the first-team. The likes of Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard and Marcus Rashford have all been regulars in the team in recent seasons.
Cristiano Ronaldo had a great first season back at Manchester United
Cristiano Ronaldo re-joined Manchester United last summer and settled in very quickly. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner ended his first season at Old Trafford as the club's leading goalscorer across all competitions.
Ronaldo has scored 24 goals in 38 appearances for the Red Devils. These included 18 goals in the Premier League, which put him third on the Golden Boot leaderboard behind Mohamed Salah and Son Heung-min (23 goals).
Cristiano Ronaldo currently has one more year remaining on his current contract at Manchester United. The 37-year-old forward is expected to play a vital role in the rebuilding process, which will happen this summer.
Former Ajax manager Erik ten Hag will take over from Ralf Rangnick as the permanent manager ahead of the 2022-23 season.

Utd problems started immediately Cristiano came and requested for Cavani's jersey π―πͺ! And subsequently, many cristiano's fans thinks maguire should regleguish his captaincy to cristiano and that why most cr5 fans hates maguire with perfect hatred, and the height of hatred came when maguire came in for cristiano in a particular match. Cavani's was wise enough to quickly gave up his jersey π―πͺ for fear of cristiano's fans. Let the truth be told utd looked better off without Cristiano because last 2 seasons utd came 3rd and 2nd respectively with maguire but without cristiano! Utd dressing room as being peaceful until cr5 came and the team chemistry was destroyed. Look at psg, Messi, mbappe, Neymar, Ramos, etc but yet they are matured enough to move on without visible or open problems. Who can believe that Ramos and Messi can co assist in same team? But cristiano came into utd young team and can't manage them well! I want you to honestly ask yourself, what do you team will happen to the respective dressing room if cristiano and Messi were swapped? That's Messi to utd and cristiano ro psg! Messi rejected Neymar Jersey π―πͺ while cristiano took Cavani's jersey π―πͺ . Mbappe had wanted to leave psg long time ago but after Messi came he loved Messi and he changed his mind and stay. Will mbape ever be able to play along side cristiano and the team and dressing room will not be in flames? Mbappe was good without Messi but Mbape look better with Messi while Rasford was good without cristiano but worse with Cristiano! Psg couldn't win league1 last season but won comfortably this season with Messi , psg won the league with 5 matches to go. Utd came 2nd last season without cristiano but 6th this season with cristiano. Utd scored 121 goals last season without cristiano but this season utd scored 58goals with cr5. Madrid won laliga this season without cristiano with 5 matches to go just because Messi is out of laliga, Madrid are in ucl final without cristiano but utd are in Europa league with Cr5. But you guys claim cristiano wins ucl!

Maurice can do it because he is polite and humble but Ronaldo to help United need to go and if he don't go is because no top club want to sign him and he knows that no club will pay him what United is paying

I'm just imagining how the situation will go down Ronaldo : "Come on guys we need to step it up and not disappoint our United faithful anymore" Maguire : "exactly what he said"

You didn't have to add Harry Maguire to your write up; some times kids learn by example, you can't be failing in your own duties as a player and as a captain of the club and still be tasking the younger players to sit up on theirs. It doesn't work like that. He should talk to himself first and make sure he's at least keeping up to his own tasks before calling out the younger players.

How is Maguire one of the senior player? talk of Ronaldo and Degea, those are the most senior, Fred, Luke Shaw... etc. Leadership is not by size, but by character in and off the pitch.

oh so u never questioned any player before?... because u can't reach anyone of their levels in 9 life of yours
Nope I didnβt, why should I question them because i love the club or i wanted to see them win and they didnβt, bro each of the player work their ass off to reach where they are now if i want to criticise them I should get the job of a football pundit which I or anyone who are busy criticising players in the comment section would ever get cus its not so easy. None of us are worthy of criticising any player and even if we feel like we are then nobodyβs listening apart from the people like u and me sitting on ours arse typing comments. Our criticism wonβt change anything.
