Paul Scholes says he has a feeling that both Jesse Lingard and Fred will leave Manchester United after the pair were substituted in the Europa League win over LASK Linz at Old Trafford on Wednesday.

With United leading 5-0 from the first leg in what was their final match before lockdown, they fell behind to a stunning strike from Philipp Wiesinger at an empty Old Trafford.

However, Lingard quickly equalised with his second goal in two games, before substitute Anthony Martial grabbed the winner late on.

After the game, Scholes noted the substitutions of Lingard and Fred just after the hour mark and says it doesn’t look good for their United prospects ahead of their Europa League quarter-final against Copenhagen on Monday.

Scholes is convinced Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s decision to take him off is a huge sign that he is on his way out.

“I do think when he’s playing well he has something to offer.

“I think lately he hasn’t been good enough really.

“Is he a starting XI player if you’re going to go on to win the league and big trophies at Man United? I’m not sure he is.

“When Ole took him off after an hour, I thought it was a sign that Ole is probably thinking of moving him on.

“When you’ve got fringe players and you need to get them games, tonight was the perfect opportunity for 90 minutes.

“I don’t think he was particularly great in the game. I don’t think there’s any way in the world he will start the game on Monday.

“I think that was a sign, possibly with Fred as well, maybe the situation. He might be thinking of offloading the pair of them.”
