The name Ruben Amorim has been in the spotlight over the past few days due to the poor start of the season for Manchester United's team, despite the club having already made its decision. Commenting on the club's management and transfer policy, along with the choices of the Portuguese coach, was Paul Scholes.
The former Red Devils player believes that the summer market was poorly utilized by the Old Trafford structure and that the team needed a better goalkeeper and a midfielder with different characteristics - not three reinforcements for the attack.
"I don't think the quality is there. Regardless of which two players he chooses for the midfield, among the four or five available midfielders, any combination he tries – with Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo – doesn't work. That's a big problem," he began by saying.
Scholes also indicates that he believed Amorim's primary target was exactly another type of midfielder: "I thought that, throughout the summer, the absolute priority was to sign a central midfielder who could control the game."
"The goalkeeper was also a fundamental issue. Did they have to wait until the game against Grimsby to realize that Onana wasn't good enough?" he questioned, continuing: "If Manchester United didn't enter the battle for Gianluigi Donnarumma when it was known he was available, that's a crime."
