Paul Scholes shows no mercy to ex-Benfica man: “It’s not working” | OneFootball

Paul Scholes showed no mercy for the Manchester United team, questioning the Red Devils’ signings and even leaving a message for Ruben Amorim. The legendary Old Trafford midfielder spoke after the 3-0 defeat to Manchester City.

"I don’t think there’s any quality. No matter which players Ruben Amorim picks for the midfield, any combination he tries seems not to work. That’s a big problem. I thought the absolute priority was a midfielder with legs, who could control the game," Paul Scholes told the BBC.

Next, the former Manchester United player criticized the heavy investment in forwards during this transfer window, stating that other areas were left unstrengthened: "Did they really need to wait until the Grimsby game to realize that Onana isn’t good enough? If Manchester United weren’t interested in Donnarumma when he became available, that’s a crime. They bought forwards. That issue needed to be addressed, but three?"

Regarding Ruben Amorim, Paul Scholes believes changes are needed: "He can’t keep playing like this, he simply can’t. At some point, he has to think: 'I have to change something because what I’m doing now isn’t working and I’m not getting results'. The proof is there."

Finally, the former England international admitted he likes the Portuguese coach, but countered that right now he’s not good enough: "I like Amorim, what he says, he seems like a nice guy. But unfortunately, the results show the reality. At the moment, it’s not good enough. If the results don’t improve, performance doesn’t matter much. He has to win some games or the pressure on him will be enormous."
