British pundit and ex-Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes has criticised caretaker manager Michael Carrick after the Red Devils lost to 10-man Newcastle United on Wednesday night, claiming the manager has been lucky in the team’s last four encounters.

​The United legend made his feelings known after the game in a now-viral post shared on his official Instagram page.
