The legend Paul Scholes of Manchester United has given his former club a Stark -warning and claims that they could experience the unthinkable prospect of Premier League degradation if they cannot strengthen their team with at least five new signing sessions.
The Red Devils are currently getting away in 13th place after 24 games, on the right track for their worst season ever in the top flight. They have only achieved four wins since the arrival of Ruben Amorim in November.
Despite the immersion of the transfer market in January in the midst of their continuous struggle, which brought Patrick Dorgu van Lecce for an initial £ 25 million and the young central defender Ayden Heaven from Arsenal, the form of the team has not improved. The latter has only made a single senior appearance in his career.
United's misery went on when they members their seventh home defeat of the season in a 2-0 loss against Crystal Palace earlier this month. A last outdoor pin goal saw them closely the shame against Ruud van Nistelrooy's relegation-threatened Leicester City in the FA Cup fourth round on Friday evening avoid and set up a collision with Fulham.
Scholes regretted the lack of backbone in the current United Squad and insisted that a total of five players should be brought in to reverse things. If this is not the case, he fears the unthinkable scenario from relegation to the championship in the future can become a very real threat, the Manchester Evening News reports.
“There are a few things that are worrying. There are many things that he (Ruben Amorim) has to do, we know all of that, especially in transfer tongs, but I don't see any core of players,” he said during the overlapping fans debate, sponsored by Sky bet.
“If you look at teams, you look straight along the back of a team. Liverpool: great keeper, great center hall New keeper is needed, possibly two center halls, two center-Middenfield players and two center-forards.
“Okay, I'm going for a center-midfielder and a center-forward, but with a little shape, a little quality, and really creating a spine. If you have that spine good, you can add bits against it. That spine, that core is so important.
“If they don't get good this summer, this may sound ridiculous, but the form because this manager is located, they can look at relegation. I tell you, it's so bad.” United then take on Sunday against Tottenham, and a loss in North Londs would see Amorim's team to 14th.
