Manchester United legend Paul Scholes expressed his lack of faith in Liverpool left-back Milos Kerkez, stating that he isn’t up to the standard that the club requires.The Hungarian fullback has had a turbulent start to life on Merseyside, since arriving from Bournemouth for £40 million last summer. Despite showing glimpses of his quality, he hasn’t been able to string together a run of good performances for the club.Speaking on The Good, The Bad & The Football Podcast, Scholes said, “I think Liverpool are still struggling in the fullback areas.

“Kerkez, I don’t think it’s nice to say but I don’t think he’s good enough for Liverpool.”The Reds did not start in ideal fashion away at Newcastle. The left-back was caught in transition high up the pitch, leaving space for Anthony Elanga to charge through on goal and fire past Alisson.“He [Kerkez] is going to get targeted every single week,” he continued.

He’s up against Elanga and a lot of people struggle against Elanga but if you’ve got a little bit about you, you make sure you don’t get yourself in those positions.”It looks unlikely that Liverpool will sign a new left-back to usurp the 22-year-old in the final week of the transfer window. The saving grace is that new manager Andoni Iraola has experience managing the Hungarian from their time together at Bournemouth.
