In a recent 1-1 Europa League draw against Real Sociedad, Manchester United legend Paul Scholes admonished wing-back Diogo Dalot for a critical decision. During a key moment, Dalot ignored a passing opportunity to cross the ball for Rasmus Hojlund, opting instead to cut inside. Scholes emphasized that this mistake was particularly disappointing as it mirrored practice sessions leading up to the game. Given Dalot's talent accompanied by poor decision-making at times, Scholes questioned his fit in Ruben Amorim's long-term plans as a vital wing-back in his game strategy.
The frustrating thing is, for 20 minutes we saw them warming up, and that's exactly what they were practising. Into the wing-back, crossing it first time.
For Dalot not to see that, is criminal really. Hojlund, he's made a great run. For any right-back in world football not to see that is criminal.
