Paul Scholes Critiques Manchester United's Lack of Quality Under Ruben Amorim
Posted on September 16, 2025
Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has expressed his concerns regarding the club's current quality, particularly under manager Ruben Amorim. Following a disappointing start to the season, with the team failing to secure a win in their first four matches, Scholes believes that United's transfer strategy has failed to address critical areas of need, especially in midfield.
Despite investing £200 million in new forwards Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and Benjamin Sesko, the team has only managed to score four goals, two of which were own goals. Scholes pointed out that the club's focus should have been on bringing in a dynamic midfielder capable of controlling the game, rather than solely targeting attacking players. He criticized the club's decision-making, particularly regarding the goalkeeper situation, questioning why they did not pursue Gianluigi Donnarumma when he became available.
As United prepares for upcoming fixtures against Chelsea and Brentford, Scholes emphasized the urgency for Amorim to modify his tactics to achieve better results. He noted that the team's current approach is not yielding the desired outcomes and that immediate changes are necessary to avoid further pressure on the manager. The consensus among various commentators, including former striker Wayne Rooney, is that the team has not improved under Amorim’s leadership, and concerns about the club's direction continue to grow among fans and analysts alike.
With United's performance having reached its worst start since the 1992-93 season, the pressure is mounting for both Amorim and the squad to turn things around quickly and restore confidence.
