Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes has waved away concerns over the club's current lacklustre season, believing that there have been times in recent memory when things have been a lot worse.

"We’ll always come back from bad patches like this. We have been on worse runs", he told MUTV.
"I think there was a time that we went three years without winning the league, which was a disaster for a club of this size – this is nothing in comparison.

Manchester United are next in action this evening when they take on Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in a Premier League clash.
