Paul Scholes has insisted Manchester United to sign five players or to run the risk of getting involved in a relegation fight next season.
United has passed a miserable campaign and currently 13th in the Premier League. However, they are only 12 points outside the drop zone, with Ruben Amorim struggling to get a tune from the team since the replacement of Erik ten Hag.
Amorim has only won from the 13 top-flight games that he took the lead and lost seven. United has raised their team with the addition of fullback Patrick Dorgu in the January transfer window.
But Scholes believes that they should go much further in the summer when the window opens again. He has called on the Red Devils to sign a new keeper, two center-backs, a central midfielder and a new center ahead, with Amorim's struggles that expressed concern.
“There are a few things that are worrying. There are many things that he (Amorim) has to do, we all know that, especially in transfer penters, but I see no core of players,” Scholes told the overlapfan debate.
“If you look at teams, you look straight along the back of a team. Liverpool: great keeper, Great Center and half, attackers, midfielders, whatever. I don't think United has that in a position.
“I think a new keeper is needed, possibly two mid -halves, two midfield players and two center ahead. Okay, I am moving for one center midfielders and one center, but with a little shape, a little quality, and really create a spine.
“If you have that spine good, you can add pieces to it. That spine, that core, is so important. If they don't have that good this summer, this may sound ridiculous, but the shape has been in, she Can look at you, it has been so bad “.
Center Forward has been a problem for some with nor Rasmus Hojlund, bought for £ 72 million in 2022, or Joshua Zirkzee, bought last summer for £ 36.5 million, which proven as a scratch. Hojlund played in the victory over Leicester last Friday, but seems to show frustration with Amorim, something that the United Boss played.
“I think it's a good thing. I will not say bad about this kind of behavior. He must understand that he sometimes has to do a job without touching the ball, “Amorim said after the game.
“He can't get so frustrated because in the next game he might have a situation near the goal. So he must be calm. But this is a character, and if you know so many players of that kind of character he has They always want more from that country.
“They want to score, they feel the critics. So it's a good thing, but he will improve. And a striker needs a very good team to deliver very good balls for him, and we are not helping our strikers right now. “
