Before the derby, Scholes had hit out at the club's recruitment policy, singling out the likes of Raphael Varane and Jadon Sancho. His derby reaction was cryptic, but any football fan could decode the message.

After full-time, the 11-time Premier League champion took to Instagram and shared a picture of former United teammates Ryan Giggs and David Beckham from back in their playing days.

The caption read, "Anyone remember when wingers used to help their full-backs?"

Giggs and Beckham were supreme creators while at United and were also lauded for their tactical discipline under Sir Alex Ferguson.

Both United's full-backs Diogo Dalot and Tyrell Malacia were hapless on Sunday. Both were on yellow cards by the 23rd minute, and many felt Antony and Sancho could've helped more on the defensive end.

Scholes pointed out the signings of Raphael Varane, Jadon Sancho and Casemiro, saying the club didn't do a proper evaluation before making the decision.

Scholes has been a harsh critic of the club since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013 and has earned a reputation as a straight talker.
