Paul Scholes
Manchester United legend and former midfield maestro Paul Scholes has urged United to invest this summer but claims that only ‘two or three’ additions are needed. United are on a 16-game unbeaten streak in all competitions – winning 13 of those – but Scholes has warned his former club not to let up.
Paul Scholes said “There is a big gap to close, there’s no doubt about that, The points difference is ridiculous and the quality of Man City obviously is there for everyone to see. I really don’t think they are a million miles away. I know we spoke about four or five players but I think it’s two or three now. I think you are looking at a centre-forward, a really classy goalscorer and possibly a centre-half to play next to [Harry] Maguire. Look, I think [Victor] Lindelof has done alright but I just think Maguire with his lack of pace at times (can get caught). If he’s got a really dominant centre-half next to him like a Rio Ferdinand or Jaap Stam who bullies centre-forwards I think that would be a big help to the team.”
