Scholes told The Times: &#8220;Shaw, Maguire, Casemiro, they were all great players, but they&#8217;re at a stage in their careers where if they&#8217;re not physical enough they&#8217;re going to be exposed in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&#8220;Their bodies aren&#8217;t athletic enough, they&#8217;re not strong enough, they&#8217;re not quick enough. They&#8217;re down to a point where they can&#8217;t cope with what the Premier League requires.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Every player in the Premier League is an absolute machine. They&#8217;re five per cent body fat, they can run, they&#8217;re strong, they can head the ball.
