Manchester United legend slams Rúben Amorim: It’s a crime | OneFootball

After achieving the first official victory of this season against Burnley, Ruben Amorim returned to defeats, after losing 3-0 to Manchester City last Sunday, September 14th. Paul Scholes, a legend of Manchester United's midfield, was attentive to the derby and criticized the red devils' signings, not forgetting to send a message to the Portuguese coach.

"I don't think there's quality. Regardless of the players that Ruben Amorim chooses 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", began Paul Scholes in an interview with the BBC.

Next, the former Manchester United player criticized the strong bet on forwards in this market, stating that there were sectors left to reinforce: "Did they really need to get to the game with Grimsby to realize that Onana is not good enough? If Manchester United was not interested in Donnarumma when he became available it's a crime. They bought forwards. This issue needed to be resolved, but three?".

As for Ruben Amorim, Paul Scholes believes that changes need to be made: "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 is not working and I'm not getting results'. The proof is there".

Finally, the former English international admitted he likes the Portuguese coach, but countered that at the moment he is not good enough: "I like Amorim, what he says, he seems to be a nice man. But, unfortunately, the results show the reality. At the moment, he is not good enough. If the results don't improve the performance doesn't matter much. He needs to win some games or else the pressure on him will be huge".
