Manchester United legend Paul Scholes believes Christian Eriksen should have stopped Bukayo Saka's stunning goal at the weekend.

United had taken an early lead in the game at the Emirates Stadium against Arsenal on Sunday through Marcus Rashford.

However, Arsenal equalized through Eddie Nketiah and then took the lead through Saka's wonder strike from outside the box.

Speaking to Premier League Productions, Scholes said: At the time, I think the goal went in a little bit easy, but it's a hell of a strike

I think it's Christian Eriksen that has to do better. Letting Saka come in on his left-hand side.

That's why I thought Luke Shaw handled [Saka] quite well. Always showing him down the right-hand side. But that one mistake, one little error and it is a goal."
