Luke Shaw and Casemiro “need a rest” following Thursday night’s 4-1 triumph over Real Betis, according to Man United great Paul Scholes.
The Red Devils started with the same lineup as their humiliating 7-0 loss to archrivals Liverpool last weekend. It worked as Man Utd easily defeated Betis in the first leg of their Europa League round of 16 match.
The win was comfortably achieved thanks to goals from Marcus Rashford, Antony, Bruno Fernandes, and Wout Weghorst, with Ten Hag’s team displaying a strong mindset to recover from their defeat at Anfield.
Scholes thinks some of Ten Hag’s men now “need a rest” with another match against Southampton in the Premier League just two days away.

“I don’t think Ten Hag likes making lots of changes,” Scholes said on BT Sport.
“He likes players having rhythm, but with the schedule and the amount of games they’ve played, some of these players need a rest now. I thought Shaw looked like he needed a rest tonight, Casemiro looks like he needs a rest.
“They can give a few young players a taste of European football [next week] and hopefully that will stand them in good stead for the future.”
