Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has praised manager Erik ten Hag for the tough calls he's made this season.

With United's fortunes changing for the better ever since his dropping, former United midfielder Scholes heaped praise on ten Hag for 'changing a lot' since their 4-0 loss to Brentford.

Scholes told Sky Sports: "He had to leave Harry Maguire out. It was a brave decision. He's a brave manager.

"The crowd get nervous when the goalkeeper tries to play a ten-yard pass, that's not a Manchester United philosophy, that's Barcelona or Ajax.

"I've been encouraged with what I've seen so far by Erik ten Hag. He's changed a lot since the Brentford game. The simple thing was, don't play out from the back.

"Get the ball forward to your best players. Get Christian Eriksen into centre midfield, a player who can play balls to the forward players."
