Scholes says Man U’s struggles are from poor recruitment and not Amorim’s tactics
Manchester United great Paul Scholes has stepped in to defend manager Ruben Amorim, insisting the club’s problems are more about recruitment than tactics.
Speaking after United’s 3-0 derby defeat to Manchester City, Scholes argued that Amorim’s system was not the issue, pointing out that United even had more possession at the Etihad. For him, the real weakness lies in the quality of players, especially in midfield.
“I don’t think the system is the problem,” Scholes said on BBC 5 Live. “The midfield wasn’t overrun, but the players there aren’t quite at the level needed. All summer I expected the club to go for a central midfielder who could control games, but it never happened.”
The former England international criticized the club’s transfer dealings, saying United seemed to panic towards the end of the window. He noted that the late move for Carlos Baleba felt unplanned, while other key areas of the squad were overlooked.
Scholes also questioned whether United needed to bring in three forwards, suggesting that energy and control in midfield should have been the priority. He added that doubts over goalkeeper André Onana were obvious long before the Grimsby game that reportedly raised concerns.
Coventry City manager, Frank Lampard, speaks on team player and states how the player’s stance will help the team get into the Premier League.
The player is revealed to be Onyeka who he spoke about in the recent interview.
“He brings a different quality and probably a different profile to the midfield players we have.
“As I say, the profile is slightly different and I think that helps us in terms of the options and the competition in the middle of the park for us.”
Arsenal coach, Mikel Arteta, after their last match, shares an update on the injured team members after their last match.
He shared an update on Saka and stated that he is doing better after going through a hip injury. “His hip is improving a lot. Hopefully, he’ll be ready soon.”
He added about the other team members: “Martin is getting better and will be back in a few days, and Jurrien is fit for the weekend.”
Super Eagles footballer, Alex Iwobi, speaks on the World Cup and reveals their hope to play in the 2026 World Cup.
He shared that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is hopeful about hearing from them after they submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.
“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have in your career, a memorable moment. But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been.”
