Paul Scholes, a Manchester United legend, was full of praise for Arsenal star Oleksandr Zinchenko after his unbelievable performance against Manchester United last night.
The Ukrainian international played an instrumental role in the 3-2 win, with his tireless work rate and creative play in midfield (despite being a left-back on paper) proving to be too much for the Manchester United defense to handle.
Scholes, who is known for his critical analysis of the game, was particularly impressed with Zinchenko’s work rate and ability to cover the ground. Shifting between two positions in a game is no easy task and the Ukrainian aced it to perfection.
Zinchenko has been a revelation for Arsenal since his move for Manchester City. The Ukrainian has enjoyed freedom in Mikel Arteta’s system and he plays in a role that brings out his abilities to the fullest.
Here is what the Red Devils legend had to say about the former Man City man’s performance and Scholes did not have anything but praise for him. – “Zinchenko, great experience, as he said and he is enjoying his football. I was going to ask him then, ‘is he a left-back or a central midfielder?’ I don’t know. Exactly (he is equally comfortable in both). He is playing it fantastically well and is a big asset to Arsenal”
Arsenal will be hoping that this Ukrainian asset is a gift that keeps on giving. It is great to see Zinchenko thrives. A player who wears his heart up his sleeve and leaves everything on the pitch, the sky is the limit for the former Man City man. Let’s hope he continues for a long time.
