There wasn’t much happiness between Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt when they got together this morning.

During their time playing for the club, the Class of ’92 stars had a lot of success under Sir Alex Ferguson.

But the Red Devils are a million miles away from their great days right now.

Erik ten Hag’s team just barely escaped disaster when they beat Coventry on penalties to face Man City in the FA Cup Final last weekend.

Dutch manager won the Carabao Cup in his first season, but he hasn’t been able to build on that this season.

They are seventh in the Premier League, 16 points behind the top four teams. There is more and more talk about whether part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe will stay with Ten Hag this summer.

United has had a string of disappointing games and public embarrassments, including being knocked out of the Champions League in the group stage.

Even though he set up the match at Wembley next month, the Dutchman is still under a lot of pressure before tonight’s Premier League game at home against Sheffield United.

As they were seen having a catch-up in Cheshire earlier, Scholes and Butt, who both won three FA Cups with United, didn’t seem to have much to laugh about.

Scholes, 49, wears pants, a dark top, and a coat. He has made it clear that he thinks Ten Hag’s time at the club will soon be over while working as a commentator.

And on Sunday, there wasn’t much that showed he might have changed his mind.

Fans of Manchester United like Gary and Phil Neville, David Beckham, and Ryan Giggs are also co-owners of League Two team Salford City. Neither player is officially still connected to United, but they are all co-owners.

Butt is also the club’s CEO, but this season there hasn’t been much to cheer about at Moor Lane either.

Having spent most of the season in the bottom half of the fourth division, the addition of Karl Robinson as manager in January helped them avoid a drop to the non-league level.

Roy Keane, who played a lot with both Scholes and Butt in the 1990s and early 2000s, said that United’s players looked “embarrassed” after their win over Coventry.

“I don’t think the United players and fans were going over the top with their celebrations,” he said.

“Because they know they had a great day today.” At 3-0, they should have won, and it almost makes them look bad that they did.

“Every time I see this United team, I don’t like what I see,” Keane said.

“They’re not fun to like, and they only play sometimes.”

“We keep talking about character and leadership, but I don’t see any of that in this United group.”

“When your team is up 3-0, you don’t give a Championship team any hope that they can get back in the game,” he said.

“But that’s what they do—they miss goals and chances.”

“We’ve seen it all season, so I don’t know why we’re shocked, but by gosh, they got lucky in the end.”
