Wayne Rooney under pressure at Manchester United - Paul Scholes

Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes
has said pressure is on Wayne Rooney to perform
after Anthony Martial helped the club claim a
point at CSKA Moscow on Wednesday.
Martial, 19, scored his fifth goal for United and his
first in the Champions League following his £36
million transfer from Monaco in the summer.
The France international headed home from
Antonio Valencia's cross on 65 minutes to clinch a
valuable 1-1 draw for United in Group B, leaving
the side in second with three matches to play.
Rooney, meanwhile, struggled to have an impact
on the match, and Scholes is quoted by the Daily
Mirror as telling BT Sport: "Martial is still a young
player, he's 19 years old, he didn't come with the
biggest reputation for being a really big goal
scorer. I think the pressure is still on Wayne.
"When we [United] were at our best we had four
strikers who could come in and score 25-30 goals.
This team now doesn't have that. There is a lot of
pressure on him [Rooney]."
Martial gave away a first-half penalty for handball,
the rebound of which was scored by Seydou
Doumbia to make it 1-0 to CSKA Moscow.
Scholes said: "Anthony Martial didn't let his head
go down, which can happen after the penalty and
he scored a great goal. Then we pushed on and
gave everything and couldn't get the second goal
which was a shame."
The 40-year-old was also unimpressed with
United's attacking playing, adding: "You look at
the United team, there is no quality, no
movement. People are not running. Is it the way
they are told to play?
"It's all safety playing across the pitch. I can't
remember a pass in to Wayne Rooney. There is no
movement.
"You've got midfield players who can run -- Ander
Herrera, Jesse Lingaard, Anthony Martial -- stick
the ball into Rooney and run but there's not one
of them even thinking of running."
