Scholes: Arsenal and Man City 'don't deserve' Premier League title

Paul Scholes has delivered a stinging verdict on the Premier League title race, saying neither Arsenal nor Manchester City has done enough this season to deserve the trophy. The former Manchester United midfielder told The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast that the standard of football has fallen and suggested the trophy should not be handed out this year.

Arsenal sit top of the table on 64 points, five clear of City, who have a game in hand, while United are third on 51. Scholes pointed to City’s struggles to maintain their usual consistency and Arsenal’s occasional stumbles, including a recent 2-2 draw with Wolves, as evidence that neither side has been convincing.

On the podcast he said: "Whoever wins the league, you said at the end of it they deserve it. None of them have convinced me that they should be Premier League champions. I don’t think they should give the trophy out this year. No one deserves it.
