The former midfielder praised the Englishman for his ability to handle ‘disappointed players’ in the dressing room. Henderson made his 400th career league appearance in the Reds’ thumping 4-0 Premier League win over United at Anfield on Tuesday.
Scholes said about Henderson after the match:
Scholes suggested that the Liverpool captain is an invaluable asset for his manager, adding:
Henderson joined Liverpool in 2011 from Sunderland. He was made captain in 2015 after Steven Gerrard’s departure. Since then, he has lifted six titles with the club, who are in contention for a historic quadruple this season.
Manchester United could use someone like Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson
Henderson’s leadership prowess is in stark contrast to that at Manchester United. While United are struggling for quality, there seems to be no leadership both on and off the pitch either.
Club captain Harry Maguire has endured a wretched campaign. His mistakes have cost United against the likes of Leicester City, Liverpool and Burnley.
The club’s fans have been vocal about removing him as the captain and handing the armband to someone else. However, there aren’t really too many leaders on the pitch for United.
Liverpool have the likes of Virgil van Dijk and James Milner as leaders. Although United have Cristiano Ronaldo, his future at the club is uncertain, so he’s unlikely to be made the captain. Meanwhile, Bruno Fernandes has worn the armband multiple times and could be a decent option.
Manchester United desperately need to find more leaders in the dressing room if they are to get back to their glory days.
