Paul Scholes questions Amorim's management: It doesn't work

The name of Ruben Amorim has been in the spotlight over the past few days due to Manchester United’s poor start to the season, even though the club has already made its decision . Commenting on the club’s management and transfer policy , as well as the choices made by the Portuguese coach, was Paul Scholes .

The former Red Devils player believes that the summer transfer window was poorly utilized by the Old Trafford hierarchy and that the team needed a better goalkeeper and a midfielder with different characteristics —not three new signings 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, any combination he tries—with Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo—doesn’t work. That’s a big problem ,” he began by saying.

Scholes also shows that he believed Amorim’s main target was actually a different kind 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 really have to wait until the match against Grimsby to realize that Onana wasn’t good enough?” he questioned, continuing: “If Manchester United didn’t enter the race for Gianluigi Donnarumma when it became known he was available, that’s a crime .”
