According to the Mail, Manchester United star Scholes questioned United's reinforcements this summer and expressed his displeasure with new recruits Derek De Ligt and Zylketzer during an appearance on a program.
Scholes began by questioning the signing of De Ligt. United spent £38.5 million to sign the Dutch international this summer, but Scholes believes that de Ligt's performances are not much different from United's existing center-back Maguire, and it is not even certain that he is an upgrade of Maguire. Scholes said, "We spent so much money on signing de Ligt, but in hindsight he is not much better than Maguire."
In addition, Scholes also questioned the striker Zylkiser, who joined the club this summer. In United's 0-3 loss to Liverpool and 0-3 loss to Tottenham Hotspur, Zirkerze's performance was not good, he only scored 1 goal in 8 games. According to Scholes, such a performance was obviously unsatisfactory and he had doubts about Zirkezer's ability.
While questioning the players, Scholes also pointed out possible problems with United's coaching staff in the reinforcement process. He questioned whether Ruud van Nistelrooy, who joined United's coaching staff this summer, was involved in the team's reinforcements and suggested that it was unlikely that Vanney would have backed Dutch international Zylkiser. Scholes said: 'Coaches are usually control freaks, they want to control everything. However, Fanny should be involved in the team's reinforcement work, especially in the center forward position. There may not be too many quality wingers on the market, but the club should consult him, shouldn't they?"
Scholes' comments have undoubtedly put pressure on United's coaching staff and reinforcement team. As a United celebrity, he has deep feelings and unique insights into the team, and his questioning also reflects the fans' dissatisfaction and concern about United's reinforcement work.
In the face of Scholes' questioning, United's coaching staff and reinforcement team need to seriously reflect and summarize the lessons learned. They need to be more careful in selecting new recruits and ensure that each new recruit can bring substantial improvement to the team. At the same time, they also need to strengthen communication and cooperation with senior coaches such as Fanny, and work together to build a strong team for the future of Manchester United.
