Paul Scholes felt Manchester United flattered to deceive as they drew 0-0 with Leeds United at Elland Road.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 's side maintained their 27-match unbeaten run on the road in the Premier League but were unable to find a winner.
Leeds are yet to lose to a 'big six' team at home and restricted United to limited chances, with Kalvin Phillips effectively man-marking Bruno Fernandes.
Scholes questioned Solskjaer's decision to leave out Paul Pogba and Edinson Cavani, who both came on as substitutes, whilst insisting they should be beating a Leeds team without their most effective attacker, Raphinha.
" Manchester United tried more than I think Leeds did to win the game which you’d expect," Scholes told Premier League Productions.
"I was surprised Pogba didn’t start the game, surprised Cavani didn’t start the game.
"It took him a long time to bring him on as well and chances were few and far between. Marcus Rashford’s dipping free-kick was probably the closest they came."
"I get the impression he’s a little bit happy with that draw," he said, before adding: "I don’t think he should be, not against a Leeds team without probably their best player in Raphinha.
"If it’s this time next year and United are going close for the league, it should be used as practice for a run-in where there’s big pressure.
"You need to go to these places and win games. They should be trying to take Manchester City all the way. All the way and as far as they possibly can now to put pressure on them.
"Use it as practice and as pressure to win those big games. Going there with a performance like that won’t be acceptable."
